A l'inconnue
Language: French (Français) 
Celle que j'aimerais, je ne la connais pas
Et mon cœur cependant voudrait tant la connaître !
Peut-être ai-je foulé l'empreinte de ses pas 
Peut-être je la vois passer de ma fenêtre !
Est-elle brune e pâle a-t-elle de doux jeux
Avec un front pensif ?
Telle je l'ai rêvée
Existe-t-il enfin, 
L'idéal gracieux ?..
Bienheureux je serai...
Quand je l'aurai trouvée
Chaque jour je l'attends et ne vois rien venir ;
Je sens que mon désir persiste et me pénètre
Je voudrais un instant
Dévoiler l'avenir
Celle que j'aimerai, ah !
je voudrais la connaître !
