Dites‑moi, belle enchanteresse

Language: French (Français) 
Dites-moi, belle enchanteresse,
Qui donc vous a donné vos yeux ?
Vos doux yeux, si plein de tendresse,
Astres divins tombés des cieux !

Quelle est la fée aux doigts de rose,
Qui prit dans son écrin pour vous ;
Charmante fleur à peine éclose,
Ces deux admirables bijoux ?

Savez-vous s'il est d'autres mondes
Où l'on puisse en voir d'aussi beaux ?
Est-ce au fond des mers, sous les ondes,
Qu'on trouve de pareils joyaux ?

Qu'ils soient astres, bijoux de fée,
Ou joyaux trouvés sous les mers,
Peu m'importe, ma bien-aimée,
Quand je les couvre de baisers.
