by Charles Gounod (1818 - 1893)

Soir d'automne
Language: French (Français) 
Petit ruisseau qui cours à travers la prairie
Sous l'azur du ciel bleu !
Touchante et fugitive image de la vie,
Sous le regard de Dieu !
Tu vas, sans le savoir, dans l'Océan immense
Te perdre sans retour.
Nous aussi, nous fuyons, mais avec l'Espérance
Vers l'éternel séjour.
Aux rayons du matin la tremblante rosée
Fait sourire les fleurs,
Mais pour nous, chaque jour, la vie est arrosée
De soucis et de pleurs !
