Classic Poem

All smiles and blushes, loving, arch and gay,
Delicious little vixen, merry sprite,
She toils to feed her birds the whole long night,
Or save her bracelets from the pawnshop's prey.

The woods of Meudon find her every May,
With dainty gaiter and saucy bonnet white;
She falls in rapture with each favorite site,
Adores De Kock, and doats upon Musset.

Constant and true to lover, dark or blond,
His hardships, pains and joys she gayly shares,
Contented with the garret where he dwells,
Never complaining, although madly fond
(After sweet kisses and Beranger's airs)
Of pet canaries and fresh caramels.

Or save her bracelets from the pawnshop's prey.

The woods of Meudon find her every May,
With dainty gaiter and saucy bonnet white;
She falls in rapture with each favorite site,
Adores de Kock, and doats upon Musset.

Constant and true to lover, dark or blonde,
His hardships, pains and joys she gayly shares,
Contented with the garret where he dwells,
Never complaining, although madly fond
(After sweet kisses and Beranger's airs)
Of pet canaries and fresh caramels.
