by Maurice Bouchor (1855 - 1929)
Bientôt l'île bleue et joyeuse
Language: French (Français)
Bientôt l'île bleue et joyeuse Parmi les rocs m'apparaîtra ; L'île sur l'eau silencieuse Comme un nénuphar flottera. A travers la mer d'améthyste Doucement glisse le bateau, Et je serai joyeux et triste De tant me souvenir -- bientôt.
