2. Viola  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Viola ! Ton sourire et tes yeux caressants
Où le ciel curieux et ravi se reflète
Ton sourire et tes yeux, ma fraîche Violette,
Chantent l'inaltérable amour que je pressens

toi, que j'entrevis à peine, ton sourire
Me parle de tendresse et d'immortalité
Je veux t'aimer, je t'aime et me voici hanté
Par tes yeux où le ciel émerveillé se mire.
J'évoque en ce moment tes cheveux blonds et
fins,
Tes yeux, ta joue en fleur que je n'ai point baisée
Ton sourire et, dans la lumière irisée,
J'abandonne mon âme à des songes divins.
