by Andrée-Léonie Louvat (1885 - 1929), as Léo Dhréna

Berceuse
Language: French (Français) 
Endormez-vous, mon cher amour
Vos yeux, sont las des feux du jour

Près de votre lit de dentelles
Un bel ange entr'ouvre ses ailes

Ce qu'il vous murmure tout bas
Hélas ! je ne le comprends pas

Mais ce sont de bien tendres choses
Je vois sur vos lèvres mi-closes

Glisser un sourire si doux
Mon pauvre cœur en est jaloux

Que rêvez-vous mon cher amour
Sans doute au céleste séjour

Vers les étoiles lumineuses
Vous appellent les voix berceuses

Des chérubins couronnes d'or
Oh ! ne me quittez pas encor

Ayez pitié de ma tendresses
Malgré leur brillante promesse

Près de moi restez ici-bas
Endormez-vous ne rêvez pas
