April again in Avrillé, / And the brown lark in air.

And you and I a world apart, / That walked together there.

The cuckoo spoke from out the wood, / The lark from out the sky.

Embraced upon the highway stood / Love-sick you and I.

The rosy peasant left his bees, / The carrier slowed his cart,

To shout us blithe obscenities, / And bless us from the heart,

Who long before the year was out, / Under the autumn rain,

Far from the road to Avrillé, / Parted with little pain.
