Little Mistress Sans-Merci Fareth world-wide, fancy free: Trotteth cooing to and fro, And her cooing is command -- Never ruled there yet, I trow, Mightier despot in the land.
And my heart it lieth where Mistress Sans-Merci doth fare.
Little Mistress Sans-Merci -- She hath made a slave of me! "Go," she biddeth, and I go -- "Come," and I am fain to come -- Never mercy doth she show, Be she wroth or frolicsome, Yet am I content to be Slave to Mistress Sans-Merci!
Little Mistress Sans-Merci Hath become so dear to me That I count as passing sweet All the pain her moods impart, And I bless the little feet That go trampling on my heart: Ah, how lonely life would be But for little Sans-Merci!
Little Mistress Sans-Merci, Cuddle close this night to me, And the heart, which all day long Ruthless thou hast trod upon, Shall outpour a soothing song For its best belovéd one -- All its tenderness for thee, Little Mistress Sans-Merci!
