Ma pauvre petite,
My little sweet,
Why do you cry?
Why this small tear,
So pure and clear,
In each blue eye?
‘ My cigarette —
I'm smoking yet?’
( I'll be discreet. )
I toss it, see,
Away from me
Into the street.
You see I do
All things for you.
Come, let us sup.
( But oh, what joy
To be that boy
Who picked it up. )
