by Jules Verne (1828 - 1905)

La douce attente
Language: French (Français) 
Je guette ma belle amante
Au nocturne rendez-vous ;
Je suis dans la douce attente !
La lune amoureuse argente
Le gazon flexible et doux ;
Je guette ma belle amante !
 
J'aime sa grâce innocente
Et mon coeur en est jaloux !
Je suis dans la douce attente !
Des arbres, toute indolente,
L'ombre glisse à point pour nous ;
Je guette ma belle amante !
 
Au bosquet où l'oiseau chante
Il n'est besoin de verrous.
Je suis dans la douce attente!
Mais elle accourt frémissante
Et je tombe à ses genoux...
J'aime tant ma belle amante!
