Many will be familiar with the two French sea-songs which follow, " Pauvre Pierre " and the lovely " Une Fleur pour Reponse." They are great favourites amongst the sailors. I well remember hearing a splendid old Breton mariner singing the latter; there was a whole world of pathos in his way of rendering it, and of unconscious rugged grandeur in the picture he himself presented. |

French Version.
"Notre vaisseau va quitter cette
plage, Oh! bien longtemps je serai sans
vous voir. En m'eloignant, emporterai -je un gage, Sinon d'amour, au moins d'un peu
d'espoir ? |
English Version.
" Our ship is about to sail,
And for long I shall not see you.
In going so far away, may I have a
keepsake, If not for love, at least for hope ? |
