by Ambroise Bétourné (1795 - 1838)

Adieu les beaux jours
Language: French (Français) 
Déjá la tendre fleur d'automne
Est le jouet des aquilons, 
Et déjà la cime des monts
revêt sa blancheur monotone. 
Avec les jeux et les amours,
Adieu, donc les beaux jours.
On ne voit plus, dans la prairie,
Aux bords du limpide ruisseau,
La jeune fille du hameau
Suivre sa douce rêverie. 
Le soleil, caché dans la nue, 
Pâle et glacé se laisse voir
Comme un dernier rayon d'espoir
Qui meurt dans une âme abattue!
