Wait !
Language: English
Wait for me, dear, if you pass the way Of the sunset fields when the hour is late; There in the hush of the dying day Dearest, wait! Wait while the wind whispers dreamy words, And the stars of Heav'n are compassionate When slumber comes to the nesting birds Dearest, Dearest, wait! Wait for me, dear, if you pass among The lilies that stand by the golden gate. I shall be coming at evensong; Dearest, wait!

Attendez !
Language: French (Français) after the English
Si vous passez par la route exquise, Dans la paix des champs, quand tout s'imprécise, Attendez-moi, car ce jour de mai Je viendrai ! Attendez-moi par un soir charmeur, Quand le vent murmure des mots si doux Sous les étoiles redits à genoux ! Vers vous va mon cœur ! Si vous passez au pays des rêves Où les lys déplorent leurs heures brèves, Par l'amour nos pas seront guidés, Attendez !
