Comment, disaient-ils, Avec nos nacelles, Fuir les alguazils ? -- Ramez, disaient-elles. Comment, disaient-ils, Oublier querelles, Misère et périls ? -- Dormez, disaient-elles. Comment, disaient-ils, Enchanter les belles Sans philtres subtils ? -- Aimez, disaient-elles.

4. Automne [sung text not yet checked]
Quand reviendra l'automne avec ses feuilles mortes Qui couvriront l'étang du moulin ruiné, Quand le vent remplira le trou béant des portes Et l'inutile espace où la meule a tourné, Je reviendrai m'asseoir alors sur cette borne Contre le mur, tissé d'un vieux lierre vermeil, Et regarder longtemps, dans l'eau glacée et morne. S'éteindre mon image et le pâle soleil.

5. Sur l'eau [sung text not yet checked]
Sur l'eau musicale qui passe Une rose se berce au courant du flot, Une rose que j'ai jetée de ma terrasse Sur l'eau. Sur l'eau du fleuve qui coule et court Mon amoureux chante dans son bateau Une chanson mélancolique d'amour Sur l'eau. Sur l'eau qui emporte au loin ma peine Il n'y a plus d'autre bateau Qu'un fin croissant de lune qui remue à peine Sur l'eau ...
