by Jean-Baptiste Théodore Weckerlin (1821 - 1910)

La valse du souvenir
Language: French (Français) 
Quand la folle brise,
Effleurant les eaux,
Vient chanter dans les roseaux,
Sur la rive assise,
Mon regard vole avec les oiseaux !
Là je pense
En silence
A la France,
A mon beau pays,
Que je chéris.

Dans un mirage
Je vois tour à tour ;
L'humble village,
Où j’ai vu le jour,
La blanche église
Où brille la croix,
Ma sœur assise
Sur le banc de bois.
Quand la folle brise etc.

Sous le feuillage
Du grand marronnier,
On en courage
Le Ménétrier.
On rit, on danse
Le pas villageois,
A la cadence
Se mêlent les voix.
Quand la folle brise etc.
