Le Cœur gai s'enivre de l'heure
 (Sung text for setting by P. de Maurice)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Le cœur gai s'enivre de l'heure
Qu'embaume le beau soir d'été,
Où le rossignol a chanté
Dans l'arbre que la brise effleure.

Le cœur triste souffre de l'heure
Qu'attendrit le beau soir d'été,
Touchant comme un amour quitté
Et long comme un baiser qui leurre.

 ... 

Et sur son aile errante, l'heure
Emporte, avec le soir d'été
Le cœur gai, triste ou dégoûté,
Vers la même obscure demeure.
