by Gabriel Vicaire (1849 - 1900)

Que je t’aime
Language: French (Français) 
Que je t’aime,
Joli berger,
Plus léger
Que l’amour même !

En tes yeux
Où le ciel passe,
Que de grâce,
Enfant joyeux !

Sur ta bouche
Oh ! quelle fleur,
Enjôleur
Que rien ne touche !

Trop souvent
Ton cœur s’envole,
Plume folle,
Au gré du vent.

À chacune
Tu ris un brin,
Pèlerin
Du clair de lune.

Mais ce jeu
Nous plaît encore ;
On t’adore,
Et puis adieu.

Sur la branche
À l’abandon,
Cueille donc
La rose blanche.
