Voicy le bois
 (Sung text for setting by L. Gouvy)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG
Voici le bois que ma sainte Angelette
Sur le printemps réjouit de son chant :
Voici les fleurs où son pied va marchant
Quand à soi-même elle pense seulette.
Voici la prée, la rive mollette,
Qui reverdit de sa main la touchant
Quand pas à pas en son sein va cachant
Le bel émail de l’herbe nouvelette.
Ici chanter, là pleurer je la vis,
 ... 
Ici s'asseoir et là danser :
Ici sourire, et là je fus ravi
Des discours de mon amie.
 ... 
Sur le métier d’un si vague penser,
Amour ourdit les trames de ma vie.
