by Édouard Garnier (1821 - 1887)

Sur la plage
Language: French (Français) 
Quand la nuit tiède et belle
Que ton cœur appela,
De la voûte éternelle
En diamants ruisselle,
Pourquoi n'es-tu là ?

La brise en pleurs te chante
Sur le flot qui s'endort,
Et loin de toi, méchante,
Je gémis dans l'attente
Sous les étoiles d'or !

En vain ton âme oublie
Son amour et sa foi,
La mienne, hélas ! remplie
De sa mélancolie
Ne peut songer qu'à toi !
