Adieux à la France
Language: French (Français)
Adieu, plaisant pays de France, ô ma patrie La plus chérie, Qui as nourri ma jeune enfance ; Adieu, France ! adieu, mes beaux jours ! La nef qui disjoint nos amours N'a cy de moi que la moitié ; Une part te reste, elle est tienne. Je la fie à ton amitié Pour que de l?autre il te souvienne.
