In the Luxembourg Gardens

When shadows fall I wander thro' the gardens,

Among the flowers and grass,

I linger on the beauty all around me:

Then two lovers pass.

The autumn leaves are falling thro' the gardens,

But in their heart is spring!

I hear him murmur: "Ah! je t'aime!"

As she answers low: "Cher ami!"

I linger on the beauty all around me,

As the hours pass.
