by André Alexandre (1860 - 1928)

Le miroir de la source
Language: French (Français) 
Viens ! Approchons-nous davantage
De la source au miroir d’argent
Je veux  y voir ton cher visage
Me sourire amoureusement

Ton regard de lis de pervenche
Rayonnera plus virginal
Sur l’onde calme qui s’épanche
En des musiques de cristal !

Tes grands cheveux d’or et de soie
Apparaîtront plus merveilleux
Au fil de lˋeau pleine de joie
De les baiser, tes grands cheveux !

Viens ! Approchons-nous davantage
De la source au miroir pâli…
L’onde emportera ton image
Là-bas vers le fleuve ébloui !
