by Jean Pierre Claris de Florian (1755 - 1794)

Présens du ciel, bienfaits charmans
Language: French (Français) 
Présens du ciel, bienfaits charmans, 
Tendre amour, aimable hymenée, 
Vous seuls de nos plus doux momens 
Serrez la chaîne fortunée. 

Qu'il est doux pour un jeune cœur 
De vivre sous votre puissance! 
L'amour lui donne le bonheur, 
L'hymen lui donne l'innocence. 

Des biens jusqu'alors inconnus, 
Viennent doubler ses jouissances; 
Tous ces plaisirs sont de vertus, 
Tous ces devoirs des récompenses. 

Puissent les sermens de ce jour, 
Gardés, chéris toute la vie, 
Donner de belles à l'amour 
Et des héros à la patrie! 

Heureux époux, vos descendans 
Seront dignes de leurs modèles; 
Les fils du lion sont vaillans, 
Ceux de la colombe fidèles.
