Fleuve du Tage
Language: French (Français) 
  Fleuve du Tage, 
Je fuis tes bords heureux ;
  À ton rivage 
J'adresse mes adieux.
Rochers, bois de la rive,
Écho, nymphe plaintive,
  [Adieu]1, je vais 
Vous quitter pour jamais.

  Grotte jolie, 
[Où]2 le temps fortuné,
  Près de Marie, 
[A si vite]3 passé.
[Ton]4 retrait solitaire,
Asile du mystère,
  Fut pour mon cœur 
Le temple du bonheur.

  [Jour]5 de tendresse,
Comme un [beau songe a fui]6 ;
  Jours de tristesse, 
De [chagrin et d'ennui]7,
Loin de ma douce amie,
Désormais de ma vie
  Vont pour toujours, 
Hélas ! flétrir le cours.

  Terre chérie 
Où [j'ai reçu]8 le jour,
  [Comme]9 Marie, 
Objet de mon amour ;
[Rochers, bois de la rive,
Echo, nymphe plaintive]10,
   Adieu, je vais 
Vous quitter pour jamais.
