by Édouard Jules Henri Pailleron (1834 - 1899)

Le Gué
Language: French (Français) 
Il fallait passer la rivière,
Nous étions tous deux aux abois.
J’étais timide, elle était fière,
Les tarins chantaient dans les bois.

Elle me dit : « J’irai derrière,
Mon ami, ne regardez pas. »
Et puis elle défit ses bas…
Il fallait passer la rivière.
