by Julien Gruaz (1868 - 1952)

Rondel de la belle au bois
Language: French (Français) 
Ouvrez vos tendres yeux, la Belle au bois dormant,
Vers le ciel matinal que l'aube claire enchante;
Chaque fleur s'ouvre au jour, le gai ruisseau s'argente
Et sur les buissons court un blond frissonnement.

C'est le bonheur, la joie et le ravissement,
Qu'épand autour de vous une fée obligeante;
Ouvrez vos tendres yeux, la Belle au bois dormant,
Vers le ciel matinal que l'aube claire enchante.

Voilà que s'ouvre... oh! très mystérieusement
A travers la forêt un sentier qui serpente.
Un jeune homme le suit; sa marche est diligente...
Il vole au près de vous: c'est le Prince Charmant.

Ouvrez vos tendres yeux, la Belle au bois dormant.
