Je Vous Adore

Je VOUS ADORE—enchanting maid, In nature's innocence array'd With ev'ry grace, devoid of art, You please the fancy, win the heart. Je vous adore.

'Twas in the early days of youth, When blushing Nature owns the truth, Your lovely form, and lovelier mind, Engag'd my heart in love refin'd. Je vous adore.

O, best of passions—source of peace! Thy warm emotious lead to bliss; Unhappy mine—that never knew Thy pleasing pangs and pleasures true. Je vous adore.

Remember then—O, lovely maid, The vows our former friendship made, And let our riper years approve, The tokens of so pure a love. Je vous adore.
