Le trésor du verger et le jardin en fête, Les fleurs des champs, des bois, éclatent de plaisir, Hélas! hélas! Et sur leur tête le vent enfle sa voix. Mais toi noble océan que l'assaut des tourmentes Ne saurait ravager Certes plus dignement, lorsque tu te lamentes, Tu te prends à songer.

What splendor, the blossoming fruit trees and the garden are in a festive mood, The wild flowers, the woods, are rejoicing, Beware! Beware! The wind's voice is already rising above their heads. But you noble ocean, who by the onslaught of the gales will hardly be touched Certainly with more dignity, even if complaining, You will withdraw in contemplation.
