Si le bonheur à sourire t'invite,
Joyeux alors, je sens un doux émoi;
Si la douleur t'accable, Marguerite,
Je pleure alors comme toi.

Comme deux fleurs sur une même tige,
Notre destin suivait le même cours;
De tes chagrins en frère je m'afflige;
Comme une soeur je t'aimerai toujours!

Composition:

    Set to music by Charles Gounod (1818 - 1893), "Marguerite", alternate title: "À une sœur", CG. 4c, published 1865 [ voice and piano ]
