She wore a wreath of roses The first night that we met.
Gayly the troubadour Touched his guitar.
Why don't the men propose, Mamma? Why don't the men propose?
We met,—'twas in a crowd.
I've now got the music book ready, Do sit up and sing like a lady A recitative from Tancredi, And something about "Palpiti!" Sing forte when first you begin it, Piano the very next minute,
Friends depart, and memory takes them To her caverns, pure and deep.
