Le foyer, la lueur étroite de la lampe; La rêverie avec le doigt contre la tempe Et les yeux se perdant parmi les yeux aimés ; L'heure du thé fumant et des livres fermés ; La douceur de sentir la fin de la soirée ; La fatigue charmante et l'attente adorée De l'ombre nuptiale et de la douce nuit, Oh ! tout cela, mon rêve attendri le poursuit Sans relâche, à travers toutes remises vaines, Impatient [des]1 mois, furieux des semaines !

The hearth, the narrow gleam of the lamp, reverie with a finger against my temple and eyes lost in the loved one's eyes; the hour of hot tea and books closed; the sweetness of feeling the end of the evening; charming fatigue, adorable waiting for the nuptial shade and the gentle night - oh! my tender dream pursues all that without a pause, across all pointless postponements, impatient with the months, furious with the weeks.
