by Adolphe de Bouclon (1813 - 1882)

Pour chanter le retour
Language: French (Français) 
Pour chanter le retour
Du jour
L'oiseau plus ne sommeille;
Dès l'aurore il s'éveille
Pour chanter le retour
Du jour.
Sa voix douce et si pure,
Et l'onde qui murmure
Raniment la nature.

Salut! salut! petit oiseau,
Si beau, 
L'écho du bois répête
Ta douce chansonnette;
J;aime ton chant nouveau,
Si beau.
Caché sous le feuillage,
Par ton tendre ramage
Tu ravis le bocage.

Viens écouter ses chants
Touchants,
Ma bonne et vieille mère,
Sous la feuille légère!
Il te dira des chants 
Touchants.
Que pour toi ma tendresse
Embellisse sans cesse
Les jours de ta vieillesse!

Adieu! adieu! petit oiseau,
Si beau,
Je viendrai dès l'aurore
Pour t'écouter encore.
Adieu! petit oisea, 
Si beau!
A bénir tu m'engages,
Dieu, Dieu qui fit le bocage,
Et ton brillant ramage.
