Dites‑moi
 (Sung text for setting by E. Nevin)
 See base text
Language: French (Français) 
Dites-moi, belle enchanteresse,
Qui vous a donné vos yeux ?
Vos deux yeux, si plein de tendresse,
Astres divin tombé des cieux !

Quelle est la fée aux doigts de rose,
Qui prit dans son écrin pour vous ;
Charmante fleur à peine éclose,
Les deux admirables bijoux ?

 ...
