by Paul Barthélemy Jeulin (1863 - 1936), as Paul Gravollet

Dans le jardin
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Je regardais dans le jardin,
Furtif au travers de la haie ;
Je t'ai vue, enfant ! et soudain,
Mon cœur tressaillit : je t'aimais !
Je m'égratignais aux épines,
Mes doigts saignaient avec les mures,
Et ma souffrance était divine ;
Je voyais ton front de gamine,
Tes cheveux d'or et ton front pur !
Grandette et pourtant puérile,
Coquette d'instinct seulement,
Les yeux bleus ombrés de longs cils,
Qui regardent tout gentiment,
Un corps un peu frêle et charmant,
Une voix de mai, des gestes d'avril !
Je regardais dans le jardin,
Furtif au travers de la haie ;
Je t'ai vue, enfant ! et soudain,
Mon cœur tressaillit : je t'aimais !
