by Pierre-Jules-Théophile Gautier (1811 - 1872) and sometimes misattributed to François Joseph Pierre André Méry (1798 - 1865)

Je crois ouïr dans les bois
Language: French (Français) 
  1
Je crois ouïr dans les bois
Une voix,
Le vent me parle à l'oreille,
La fleur me dit ses secrets
Les plus frais,
Et le ramier me conseille ;
Ah ! c'est mon cœur qui s'éveille !

  2
Je me sens une langueur
Dans le cœur,
Je deviens pâle ou vermeille,
Gaie ou rêveuse en un jour
Tour à tour,
Un songe éblouit ma veille ;
Ah ! c'est mon cœur qui s'éveille !

Note: Méry wrote the rest of the libretto for the opera by Ernest Reyer.
