THE MERRY BELLS SHALL RING
1
The merry bells shall ring,Marguerite;
The little birds shall sing,
Marguerite—
You smile, but you shall wear
Orange blossoms in your hair,
Marguerite!
2
Ah me! the bells have rungMarguerite;
The little birds have sung,
Marguerite—
But cypress leaf and rue
Make a sorry wreath for you,
Marguerite!
