by Édouard Guinand (1838 - 1909)

En barque
Language: French (Français) 
Restons encore, Mignonne !
Ma barque est douce et bonne ;
Glissons sur les flots verts
Entre le ciel et l’onde
Seuls, sur la mer profonde,
Oublions l’univers !
Restons encore, Mignonne !

Vois, que la grève est belle 
où meurt la vague blanche !
Vois que le ciel est pur, 
le soleil radieux !
Vois, que ton jeune front 
qui sur mon front se penche
Est insouciant et joyeux !
Restons encore, Mignonne !

Jamais nous ne verrons 
s’écouler plus charmantes
Les heures que les dieux 
comptent à leurs élus …
Peut-être ces instants, 
chers aux âmes aimantes,
Ne les retrouverons-nous plus !
