In the Luxembourg Gardens
Language: English
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.
