Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
L'allée est sans fin Sous le ciel, divin D'être pâle ainsi : Sais-tu qu'on serait Bien sous le secret De ces arbres-ci ? Des messieurs bien mis, Sans nul doute amis Des Royers-Collards : Vont vers le château. J'estimerais beau D'être ces vieillards. Le château, tout blanc Avec, à son flanc, Le soleil couché, Les champs à l'entour... Oh ! que notre amour N'est-il là niché !
R. Hahn sets stanzas 1, 3
