possibly by Albert Victor Samain (1858 - 1900)

Berceuse
Language: French (Français) 
Tes longs cils sont lourds déjà
de lassitude bienheureuse,
veux-tu bien, mon cher petit,
dormir jusqu'à demain.

Tu trouveras le jour plus neuf,
plus neufs aussi tes jeux.
Vois, comme toi l'oiseau s'endort
dans son berceau d'osier.

Dieu d'amour gardez-le moi,
si pur et blanc comme ce soir.
Je ne veux d'autre univers
que ce petit berceau.
Dors - dors - dors.
