Sous le dome epais
ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose s'assemble,
Sur la rive en fleurs,
riant au matin,
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons;
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant fuyant;
Dans l'onde fremissante.
D'une main nonchalante,
Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort.
Et l'oiseau, l'oiseau chante.
Sous le dome epais,
Sous le blanc jasmin,
Ah! descendons ensemble!
