When by Sad Mischance We Lose, Poem by Alfred De Musset

(Song.)

When by sad mischance we lose
Our hope
And our cheerfulness,
The remedy for the melancholy one
Is music
And beauty!

A fair face obliges more and can do more
Than an armed man,
And nothing is better than to hear
A sweet and tender air
Once beloved!

Alfred De Musset
