by Philippe Gille (1831 - 1901)

Vous en souvient‑il, Madeleine
Language: French (Français) 
Vous en souvient-il, Madeleine,
De ce beau jour de l'an dernier
Où je vous coiffais de verveine
Auprès d'un buisson d'églantier?..

Nous jurions aux feuilles nouvelles
Tout ce qu'on peut jurer, hélas !
Jusqu'à des amours éternelles...
Au printemps que ne fait-on pas !...

Avez-vous encor, Madeleine,
Souvenir de cet églantier?..
Où donc est-elle la verveine
De ce beau jour de l'an dernier?..

Oh ! me rougis pas... ma folie
Ne va pas jusqu'à demander
Plus à ton cœur qu'à la prairie...
Les fleurs de ce printemps dernier !...
