by Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)

Mon âme à ton cœur s'est donnée
Language: French (Français) 
Mon âme à ton cœur s'est donnée.
Je n'existe qu'à ton côté;
Car une même destinée
Nous joint d'un lieu enchanté;

Toi, l'harmonie et moi la lyre,
Moi l'arbuste et toi le zéphyre,
Moi la lèvre et toi le sourire,
Moi l'amour et toi la beauté!

Tandis que l'heure
S'en va fuyant,
Mon chant qui pleure
Dans l'ombre effleure
Ton front riant!
