L'oiseau dans le buisson
À salué l'aurore,
Et d'un pâle rayon
L'horizon se colore,
Voici le frais matin!
Pour voir les fleurs à la lumière,
S'ouvrir de toute part,
Entr'ouvre ta paupière,
Ô vierge au doux regard!
La voix de ton amant
A dissipé ton rêve;
Je vois ton rideau blanc
Qui tremble et se soulève,
D'amour signal charmant!
Descends sur ce tapis de mousse
La brise est tiède encor,
Et la lumière est douce,
Accours, ô mon tresor!

Aubade
Language: English  after the French (Français)
The bird in the bush
has saluted the dawn,
and a pale ray of light
has reddened the horizon:
behold the fresh morning!
If you wish to see the flowers
opening everywhere toward the light,
open your eyelids
o maiden with the gentle expression!
The voice of your sweetheart
has dispelled your dream;
I see your white veil
that trembles and stirs,
a sign of charming love!
Descend to this carpet of moss
where the breeze is once again warm,
and the light is gentle;
Hurry, o my treasure!
