Charmant Rossignol, dont la voix
Language: French (Français)
Charmant Rossignol, dont la voix [Interrompt]1 le profond silence De ces Rochers et de ces Bois, Ou l'Été perd sa violence, Si la Bergère que je sers Revient jamais dans ces Déserts, Apprends à cette Âme cruelle Que l'eau qui coule entre ces Fleurs Est un petit reste des pleurs Qu j'ai versés pour l'amour d'elle.
