by Charles Henri Plantade (1764 - 1839)

Au vallon tout est sombre
Language: French (Français) 
Au vallon tout est sombre 
Pour faire place à l'ombre 
Le dieu du jour s'enfuit,
Les oiseaux du bocage 
Suspendent leur ramage :
Voici la nuit, voici la nuit ! 

Flore de sa parure 
Parfume la nature 
Et Zéphyr qui la suit, 
Dans sa course légère 
Va rafraîchir la terre : 
Voici la nuit, voici la nuit ! 

Berger, cours à ta belle, 
Jurer flamme éternelle, 
L'étoile du soir luit, 
A ton cœur qui soupire, 
Déja tout semble dire :
Voici la nuit, voici la nuit !
