Madrigal
Language: French (Français)
Le soir frisonne au cœur des roses; Ton rire est comme ce frisson ; Il passe sur les fronts moroses Avec le bruit d'une chanson. Oh ! le beau rire, Et les doux yeux Qui me font triste ou joyeux ! En versant les fleurs de son urne, Avril trouve tes yeux charmants. Comme une lumière nocturne Ils rayonnent, fins diamants ! Oh ! le beau rire Et les doux yeux Qui me font triste ou joyeux !
