by Gabriel Vicaire (1849 - 1900)

Qu’il fait bon voir
Language: French (Français) 
Qu’il fait bon voir,
Quand vient la brune,
Danser la lune
Sur l’abreuvoir !

Une fillette
En jupon blanc
S’en va, filant
Sa quenouillette.

Un gas la suit
Comme son ombre,
Dans le bois sombre
Qu’emplit la nuit.

Elle se montre :
Il est tout près.
Sans faire exprès,
L’on se rencontre.

Ah ! quel tourment
D’aller ensemble !
La belle tremble ;
Aussi l’amant.

On peut oser
Plus d’une chose.
Vive la rose
Et le baiser !
