Roses are shining in Picardy

In the hush of the silvery dew

Roses are flowering in Picardy

But there's never a rose like you!

And the roses will die with the summertime

And our roads may be far, far apart

But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy

'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart!

But there's never a rose like you!

And the roses will die with the summertime

And our roads may be far, far apart

But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy

'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart!

Music by Haydn Wood
