Aubade

Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
L'aube est bien tardive à naître, 
Il a gelé cette nuit ; 
Et déjà sous ta fenêtre 
Mon fol amour m'a conduit.

Je tremble, mais moins encore 
Du froid que de ma langueur ; 
Le frisson du luth sonore 
Se communique à mon cœur.

Ému comme un petit page, 
J'attends le moment plus sûr 
Où j'entendrai le tapage 
De tes volets sur le mur ;

Et la minute me dure 
Où m'apparaîtra soudain, 
Dans son cadre de verdure, 
Ton sourire du matin.
