La barque
Language: French (Français)
La barque sur l’eau qui jase Promène des amoureux, Qui tous deux avec emphase Echangent d’éternels voœux. Mais l’eau verte qui ruisselle En son clapotis leur dit : Que vite, plus vite qu’elle, L’amour, ici bas s’en fuit. La barque sur l’eau qui jase Promène des amoureux!
