AIME MOI

Aimez moi, je vous en prie!
Never a word she understood:
But her eyes told me she would,
Said—Je t' aime, mon bel ami!
Aimez moi, je vous en prie!
Not a word could she understand,
But the pressure of her hand
Said—Je t' aime, mon bel ami!
Aimè moi, and je t'en prie!
Never a word her lips pass'd by:
Sweeter kisses gave reply,
Said—Je t' aime, mon bel ami!
