by Henri Blaze de Bury (1813 - 1888)

Marguerites de mes prairies
Language: French (Français) 
Marguerites de mes prairies,
Mettez ce soir vos beaux colliers,
Vos beaux colliers de pierreries ;
Effeuillez-vous, tiges fleuries,
Dans la poussières des sentiers.

Éveillez-vous, blanches clochettes,
Allez, vous dormirez demain,
Gais rossignols, levez vos têtes,
[Et dans les blés verts, alouettes]1,
Commencez l'hymne du matin.

Et vous, ma cascade lointaine,
Vous, clématides du jardin,
Et vous, Nature souveraine,
De tous les parfums de la plaine,
Embaumez ma couche de lin.

Tombez, tombez, fraîche rosée ;
Oiseaux et fleurs, unissez-vous
En des chants de joie insensée ;
Car cette nuit, à ma croisée,
J'attends [Siegfried]2, mon jeune époux !
