by Paul de Choudens (1850 - 1925), as Paul Bérel

Le sentier perdu
Language: French (Français) 
J'ai voulu le revoir 
ce sentier sous les bois 
où nous rêvions le soir !...
Le parfum de son cœur 
s'y mêlait à la brise,
Mes yeux parlaient d'amour 
à son âme indécise...

Tremblante à mes côtés 
elle disait tout bas
Ce mot que j'implorais 
en ne l'espérant pas !
Je viens te parler d'elle
Ô sentier des beaux jours.
Tu conserves fidèle
Le chant de nos amours !

Oui, je viens te revoir, 
ô sentier d'espérance,
Revivre du bonheur que donnait 
ton silence ! Tremblante elle marchait 
sous les grandes bois ombreux
Et je tenais sa main 
et nous étions heureux !
Je viens te parler d'elle
Ô sentier des beaux jours.
Tu conserves fidèle
Le chant de nos amours !
