possibly by Jules Bertrand

Sérénade
Language: French (Français) 
Tout est riant dans la nature,
Déjà les lilas sont en fleurs,
Et pour achever leur parure
Fraîche aurore a versé ses pleurs.

Les colombes sous la ramée
Soupirent leurs chants amoureux:
Je suis seul, les ramiers sont deux,
Je suis seul et les vois heureux,
Et je rêve à ma bien-aimée.

Du ciel brillant les fleurs charmantes
Parfument les sentiers divins;
Feux Tremblants, vos flammes errantes
Nous font rêver sur nos chemins.

Astres dont la voûte est semée,
D'un rayon pur charmez les cieux,
Mais qu'ils sont pâles tous vos feux,
Près des yeux de ma bien-aimée.
