 ... 

Alice! A childish story take,
And with a gentle hand,
Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined
In Memory's mystic band,
Like pilgrim's wither'd wreath of flowers
Pluck'd in far-off land.

Dans l'après‑midi doré, tous

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Lehmann)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the English

 ... 

Alice ! Prends cette histoire enfantine
Et d'une gentille main
Dépose-la où les rêves de l'enfance sont tressés
En une guirlande mystique du souvenir
Comme une couronne de fleurs fanées de pélerin
Cueillies dans un pays très lointain.
