Marguerite
Language: French (Français) 
Choose for Diff
Au bord du Rhin où tout fleurit,
Où tout sourit ;
Notre enfance de bonheur pleine,
Gaîement coulait ;
Chaque vieille mère filait,
Filait la laine,
Et chaque fille tout le jour
Parlait d'amour..

J'étais la fleur de notre champ,
La Marguerite
Qu'un léger souffle en la touchant
Dessèche vite.
Le souffle d'amour m'a touchée,
Et desséchée
Les fleurs qu'un jour a pu flétrir
N'ont qu'à mourir.
