Charles Hubert Hastings Parry - Julia - текст песни (слова)

Some ask'd me where the rubies grew, 
And nothing [I did]* say, 
But with my finger pointed to 
The lips of Julia. 
 

 Some ask'd how pearls did grow, and where? 
Then spake I to my girl, 
To part her lips, and show me there 
The quarelets of pearl. 
 

 One ask'd me where the roses grew, 
I bade him not go seek; 
But forthwith made my Julia show 
A bud on either cheek.
