Sur le balcon
Language: French (Français) 
Sur le balcon viens, ô ma fiancée, 
Le bal riant étourdit la pensée, 
Viens, voir la nuit plus belle que le jour, 
L'odeur des lys monte avec la rose 
Sens tu pas que l'âme repose 
Plus loin du bruit et plus près de l'amour. 

Regarde au ciel passer belle et sans voile 
La blanche lune avec sa cour d'étoiles 
Semant la nuit de songes gracieux 
Et puis vois-tu cette étoile rêveuse 
Qui pas à pas humble et silencieuse 
La suit sans cesse en montant vers les cieux. 

Ô reconnais charmant et doux mystère: 
L'amour au ciel comme il est sur la terre, 
Ce coeur qui tremble et ta beauté qui luit, 
Ton front divin ma noble fiancée 
Lève sur moi tandis que ma pensée 
De loin sans cesse en t'adorant te suit.
