THISTLEDOWN: 13, by                    
First Line: O pepita! My pepita!
Last Line: But your small heart might be truer.


O PEPITA! my Pepita!
Who would wish you fairer, brighter?
Would you make the roses sweeter?
Would you paint the lily whiter?

Nay, Pepita, my Pepita!
Your blue eyes could not be bluer;
Your sweet face could not be sweeter;
But your small heart might be truer.
