2. L'Oiseau dans les bois  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Au printemps l'Oiseau naît et chante:
N'avez-vous pas ouï sa voix?
Elle est pure, simple et touchante
La voix de l'Oiseau - dans les bois!

L'été, l'Oiseau cherche l'Oiselle;
Il aime - et n'aime qu'une fois!
Qu'il est doux, paisible et fidèle,
Le nid de l'Oiseau - dans les bois!

Puis, quand vient [l'automne]1 brumeuse
Il se tait .... avant les temps froids.
Hélas! qu'elle doit être heureuse
La mort de l'Oiseau - dans les bois!

  • by Gérard Labrunie (1808 - 1855), as Gérard de Nerval, "Dans les bois"

4. Romance  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Ah ! sous une feinte allégresse
Ne nous cache pas ta douleur !
Tu plais autant par ta tristesse
Que par ton sourire enchanteur
À travers la vapeur légère
L’Aurore ainsi charme les yeux ;
Et, belle en sa pâle lumière,
La nuit, Phœbé charme les cieux.

Qui te voit, muette et pensive,
Seule rêver le long du jour,
Te prend pour la vierge naïve
Qui soupire un premier amour ;
Oubliant l’auguste couronne
Qui ceint tes superbes cheveux,
À ses transports il s’abandonne,
Et sent d’amour les premiers feux !
