by Paul Bourget (1852 - 1935)

Encore un soir qui tombe
 (Sung text for setting by C. Widor)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Encore un soir qui tombe, un soir qui ne m'apporte
Qu'un regret plus navrant de ma jeunesse morte.
Que ne suis-je pareil à ces noirs paysans
Dont je vois les maisons éparses dans les champs,
Et qui, durs travailleurs, ne comptent leurs journées
Que par l'entassement des gerbes moissonnées?
Mais, mois, le grand silence et la clarté du ciel,
La ligne des coteaux boisés, le lent appel
Que l'Angelus du soir jette dans la vallée,
Tout me fait souvenir de ma vie en allée....
