by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Que l’heure est vite passée
Language: French (Français) 
Que l’heure est vite passée
Où dans mes bras te penchant
Tu berces de ton doux chaut
Le rêve de ma pensée !

Avec les mots que tu dis
Mon âme flotte à ta bouche
Et ton souffle qui la touche
La transporte au paradis.

O les jours délicieux
Qu’ainsi tu m’as fait connaître !
Toi qui gardes dans ton être
Le charme infini des cieux !
