Le portrait
 (Sung text for setting by B. Parkyns)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Portrait charmant, portrait de mon amie
Gage d'amour, par l'amour obtenu
Ah viens m'offrir, le bien que j'ai perdu
Te voir encore, me rappelle à la vie.

Oui les voilà, ces traits, ces traits que j'aime
Son doux regard, son maintien, sa candeur
Lorsque ma main, te presse sur mon cœur
Je crois encore la presser elle mème.

 ...
