by Achille Ceuterick , as A. Berton

Écoute‑moi
Language: French (Français) 
Fille plus blanche que l'hermine,
Vierge au regard suave et pur,
Je t'aime comme le Brâmine
Aime le Gange aux flots d’azur !

Fille à la colombe pareille,
Douce, pure, chaste et sans fiel,
Je t'aime comme toute abeille
Aime la fleur où naît le miel !

Taille svelte, souple et splendide,
Visage ovale et gracieux,
Te font belle, ô vierge candide,
Belle comme l'ange des cieux !

Refrain.
    Écoute moi,
 Écoute l'amant qui soupire ;
 Écoute aussi le chant qu'inspire
    Un doux émoi.

Confirmed with Cantilènes & Cantatilles par A. Berton, Gand, Chez H. Hoste, 1864, page 14.
