 (Sung text for setting by G. Pierné)

Language: French (Français)

J'ai laissé de mon sein de neige
Tomber un œillet rouge à l'eau,
Hélas ! comment le reprendrai-je,
Mouillé par l'onde du ruisseau ?
Voilà le courant qui l'entraîne !
Bel œillet aux vives couleurs,
Pourquoi tomber dans la fontaine ?
Pour t'arroser j'avais mes pleurs !
