by Jules Ruelle (1834 - 1892)

Sérénade aux mariés
Language: French (Français) 
Voici l'heure du mystère:
La nuit va couvrir la terre,
L'ombre cache en ses replis
Le secret des coeurs épris.
Dans les splendeurs étoilées,
Que vos âmes envolées
S'unissent, tendres époux;
Endormez-vous, endormez-vous!

Vite ôtez, belle épousée,
Le bouquet de fiancée,
Car les roses de l'hymen
Pour vous fleuriront demain;
Dénouez vos longues tersses
En murmurant vos tendresses,
Puis auprès de votre époux!
Endormez-vous, endormez-vous!

Pour vous les nuits seront belles,
Aux senteurs des fleurs nouvelles;
Tous deux vous reposerez,
Tous deux vous vous aimerez;
Et les brises printanières,
En effleurant vos paupières
Feront vos rêves plus doux;
Endormez-vous, endormez-vous!
