Très rapide, ma barque suit le fil de l'eau, Et mes yeux suivent le cours du fleuve. Là-haut, dans la nuit claire, courent de fins nuages. La nuit claire est aussi dans l'eau : Lorsqu'un nuage glisse sur la lune, Je le vois glisser sur le fleuve, Et il me semble que ma barque vole vers le ciel, Et je pense à ma bien aimée, Qui se mire ainsi dans mon cœur.
