by François Coppée (1842 - 1908)

Tu m'as promis ton baiser
Language: French (Français) 
Tu m'as promis ton baiser 
  Pour ce soir, ma brune, 
Et je viens de me griser
  D'un rayon de lune ;
Mais nous fuirons sa clarté, 
  Pour peu que tu veuilles :
Elle a l'air, les nuits d'été, 
  De voir sous les feuilles. 

Nous prendrons le chemin noir, 
  Si cher à nos courses, 
Où l'on entend, sans les voir,
  Le doux bruit des sources ;
Et, pour nous guider, passants 
  Sous la voûte obscure, 
Tu mettras des vers luisants 
  Dans ta chevelure.
