by Louis-François Tourte (1816 - 1891), as Francis Tourte

Blonds Chérubins
Language: French (Français) 
Reprenez, je vous prie,
Enfants,
Vos jeux dans la prairie,
Vos chants ;
Déjà la cloche pleure
La nuit,
Profitez de cette heure
Qui fuit.
Riez, dansez sous l'ombrage,
Blonds Chérubins,
Aimez-vous, c'est de votre âge,
Petits lutins.

L'aurore sur les branches
De fleurs
Répond en perles blanches
Ses pleurs ;
Les pinsons aux préludes
Si doux
Peuplent nos solitudes
Pour vous.
Riez, dansez etc.

Le printemps qui féconde
Souvent
Passe comme sur l'onde
Le vent !
Le présent nous caresse
Toujours,
Les instants qu'il nos laisse,
Sont courts.
Riez, dansez etc.
