UNE PETITE CHANSON DE LAMENTATION A MA MERE, by

Subject(s): Children; Longing; Mothers & Daughters; Past; Childhood


Give me my Youth, and let me play
I'm tired of the things I do today.
Weary of being a grown-up girl—
Take me back to my Childhood's whirl
Of sunlit hours, of joys and fun,
And nothing finished that was begun
Let the wind around me blow
And foolishly ruffle my hair.
Let me sing and sing as I go—
With never a thought nor care.
Just go to bed at night time
And sleep the silence thru,
And waken with the sunshine
To find a new day and YOU.
