As we stroll the faubourgs through.
Dear Holy Virgin, beside my stove I have set a cradle with ribbons decked. God may give me his loveliest star; I prefer the child thou hast granted me. ‘Madame, what shall I do with this linen fine?’—‘Make of it clothes for thy newborn babe.’
Roses are pink and cornflowers are blue,
I love my love, and cornflowers are blue.
