Oranger dont la voûte épaisse
 (Sung text for setting by L. Durey)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Oranger dont la voûte épaisse 
Servit à cacher nos amours, 
Reçois et conserve toujours 
Ces vers, enfans de ma tendresse; 
Et dis à ceux qu'un doux loisir 
Amènera dans ce bocage, 
Que si l'on mourait de plaisir, 
Je serais mort sous ton ombrage.
Note: modernized spelling would change "enfans" to "enfants"
