TO PEPA.

FROM ALFRED DE MUSSET.

WHEN, once thy mother bids good night,

When the evening shades are there,

And half dressed beneath thy light,

Pepa, thou art bowed in prayer;

At the hour when anxious thought

Advertisement

With a restless sleep is wed;

Ere thy snowy cap is brought

And th' art nestled in thy bed;

When dull sleep its wings unfurl

O'er thy home and over thee, -

Pepita! my charming girl

Sweet, what can thy visions be?

Who knows? Perhaps the heroine

Of some sad tale of love and sighs;

Whatever hope has e'er foreseen

And stern reality belies.

Perhaps dost think on mountains grand

In pain and labor with a mouse;

On lover kings in fairy-land,

On bonbons, husbands with a house.

Perhaps upon some sweet distress

That centres in thy simple thought;

On the last waltz, thy Paris dress;

Perhaps on me, - perhaps of naught.
