Anna-Marie, love, up is the sun, Anna-Marie, love, morn is begun, Mists are dispersing, love, birds singing free, Up in the morning, love, Anna-Marie. Anna-Marie, love, up in the morn, The hunter is winding blithe sounds on his horn, The echo rings merry from rock and from tree, 'Tis time to arouse thee, love, Anna-Marie. O Tybalt, love, Tybalt, awake me not yet, Around my soft pillow while softer dreams flit, For what are the joys that in waking we prove, Compared with these visions, O, Tybalt, my love? Let the birds to the rise of the mist carol shrill, Let the hunter blow out his loud horn on the hill, Softer sounds, softer pleasures, in slumber I prove, — But think not I dreamt of thee, Tybalt, my love.

Lève-toi donc, Anna-Marie ! Déjà l'aurore est de retour, Et des oiseaux la mélodie A salué le point du jour. N'entends-tu pas le cor sonore Qui retentit sur les coteaux ? Lève-toi donc, Marie, avec l'aurore, Le gai chasseur et les oiseaux.. Tybalt, Tybalt, quand je sommeille, De doux songes charment mes sens, Et quels plaisirs, quand on s'éveille, Valent ces songes ravissans ? Laisse l'oiseau chanter l'aurore ; Le cor n'a point d'attraits pour moi ! Des sons plus doux me font rêver encore. Mais, Tybalt, ce n'est pas de toi !
