Belle source, belle source,
Je veux me rappeler sans cesse,
Qu'un jour, guidé par l'amitié 
Ravi, j'ai contemplé ton visage, ô dèesse,
Perdu sous la mou, sous la mousse à moitié.

Que n'est-il demeuré, cet ami que je pleure,
O nymphe, à ton culte attaché,
Pour se mêler encore au souffle qui t'effleure,
Et répondre à ton flot caché?
