À quinze ans
 (Sung text for setting by G. Spontini)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
De mon heureuse destinée
À quinze ans je m’applaudissais ;
Avant la fin de la journée
Sur mon malheur je gémissais !

  Si jeune être en butte à l’envie !
  Mon Dieu ! Que sera donc ma vie ?

Du monde si c’est là l’image
Que le temps amène en son cours,
Si le deuil couvre mon jeune âge
Dieu sauveur, reprenez mes jours.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gaspare Luigi Pacifico Spontini (1774 - 1851), "À quinze ans" [ soprano and piano ]
