by Gustave Lasnon de La Renaudière (1812 - 1862)

Madelaine
Language: French (Français) 
Viens écouter l'oiseau qui chante
Comme le printemps dans nos cœurs.
Viens mêler à l'encens des fleurs,
Les parfums de notre âme aimante.
Pour laisser venir le soir,
Au bord de cette fontaine,
Madelaine,
Viens t'asseoir.

Viens rêver au bord de cette onde,
Viens, dans le miroir murmurant
Regarder l'ange caressant
Qui me fait un ciel de ce monde.
Pour laisser venir le soir etc.

Oh ! viens, nos âmes sont deux lyres
Dont le bonheur unit les sons.
Viens faire éclore mes chansons
Sous tes regards et tes sourires.
Pour laisser venir le soir etc.
