by Maurice Bouchor (1855 - 1929)

Nous nous aimerons au bord d'un sentier
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nous nous aimerons au bord d'un [sentier]1
Où l'herbe soit haute, et fraîche, et bien douce,
Ou dans les grands bois, sur un lit de mousse...
Nous nous aimerons [dans]2 le monde entier.

Nous nous [en irons]3 éperdus, en rêve,
Ne comprenant rien aux bruits d'ici-bas,
Nous aimant toujours, ne nous parlant pas,
Sur un océan qui n'a point de grève.

Nous n'aborderons nulle part : toujours
Un bonheur tranquille, ineffable, immense ;
Et le vent des cieux, plus doux qu'un silence,
Nous murmurera des chansons d'amour.
