Verse:

She is watch -ing by the pop -lars, Col -in -ette with the sea -blue eyes,

She is watch -ing and long -ing and wait -ing Where the long white road -way lies.

And a song stirs in the si -lence, As the wind in the boughs a -bove,

She lis -tens and starts and trem -bles, 'Tis the first lit -tle song of love:

 

Chorus:

"Ro -ses are shin -ing in Pi -car -dy in the hush of the sil -ver dew,

Ro -ses are flow'r -ing in Pi -car -dy, but there's nev -er a rose like you!

And the ro -ses will die with the sum -mer time, and our roads may be far -a -part,

But there's one rose that dies not in Pi -car -dy! 'tis the rose that I keep in my heart!"
