by Alexandre Piedagnel (1831 - 1903)

Camille
Language: French (Français) 
Camille, ètes-vous endormie ?
  Amie, 
Vous ne m'entendez pas
Si ta paupière rose 
  Est close
Je parlerai tout bas:
  Voici mai ! l'hirondelle fidèle 
  Revient à son doux nid 
    Béni,
  Comme elle
    Ma belle,
  Il faut aimer un jour
  Car la jeunesse appelle 
    L'amour!

La fleur et l'oiseau tout s'éveille;
  L'abeille
Jase avec les lilas
La fauvette et la rose 
  Mi-close
Te répètent tout bas:
  Voici mai ! l'hirondelle fidèle ... etc.

Camille, hélas de vous je rêve!
  Sans trève 
Vous ne le savez pas
Mais ta paupière est close 
  Et j'ose
Te l'avouer tout bas:
  Voici mai ! l'hirondelle fidèle ... etc.
