Dans le carté du matin Résonne un bronze lointain Cherchant des coeurs qu'il appelle Le chant s'ebaume en chemin De lislas et de jasmine La vie est belle! Sous les tièdeurs de midi Passant dan l'air attièdi Des oiseaux en ribambelle Qui pregnant gaîment l'essor, Clament aux nuages d'or: La vie est belle! Le soir, on presse le pas Car le couer sait, n'est-ce pas? Que l'espère un coeur fidèle, Souvent le dèclin un jour Est l'aurore de l'Amour... La vie est belle!
