Fantaisie‑Duo
Language: French (Français) 
Soprano
 Je vois toutes les fleurs écloses
 Et les jardins couverts de lys.

Mezzo-soprano
 Moi, je vois des lys et des roses
 Sous les frimas ensevelis.

Soprano
 Point de fleur qui ne s'effeuille !

Mezzo-soprano
 Belle rose ou lys odorant;

Both
 Qu'importe la fleur que l'on cueille,
 Si l'on aime en la respirant!

Soprano
 J'entends chanter les alouettes,
 Ivres de joie au sein des airs.

Mezzo-soprano
 Moi, j'entends gémir les mouettes
 Tristes sur la bîme des mers.

Both
 Point d'écho qui s'éternise!
 Chant plaintif ou refrain vibrant !
 Qu'importe la chanson qu'on dise
 Si l'on aime en la soupirant !
