LA PETITE FIANCEE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: She is washing her linen, her bridal lingerie
Last Line: And think he has married a blossom of the pear.
Subject(s): Brides


She is washing her linen, her bridal lingerie;
The wind blows the whiteness about; I can hear her sing
Her lover peeps through the hedge, -- ah, Rose-Lili,
He will think, this bold Francois, he has captured Spring.

And Easter day when you stand all white by his side,
With a snowy Normandy cap on your sleek, pale hair,
He will look from his great bronzed height on his flower-White bride
And think he has married a blossom of the pear.
