by Louis de Courmont (1828 - 1900)

Par le sentier
Language: French (Français) 
"Où, dites-moi, beau cavalier,
Qui chevauchez par le sentier,
couvert de clématite,
Où, dites-moi, beau cavalier,
Allez-vous donc si vite ?"
"Belle, je vais au rendez-vous
D'amour, où doit m'attendre
Ma mie au sourire si doux,
Ma mie au cœur si tendre !"

"Votre mie, ô beau cavalier,
Qui chevauchez par le sentier,
Est-elle noble et belle,
Grande dame à l'esprit altier
Ou simple demoiselle ?"
"Ma mie est la reine des prés,
Qui parfume mon âme,
La fauvette aux chants inspirés,
Qui chante en moi sa gamme."

"Votre mie, ô beau cavalier,
Qui chevauchez par le sentier,
Bienheureuse doit être !
Votre mie, ô beau cavalier,
Je voudrais bien connaître."
"Baissez votre regard si cher
Vers la source endormie ;
Mirez-vous dans le ruisseau clair,
Vous y verrez ma mie."
