by Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)

Mon âme à ton cœur s'est donnée
Language: French (Français) 
Mon âme à ton cœur s'est donnée.
Je n'existe qu'à ton côté;
Car une même destinée
Nous joint d'un lieu enchanté;

Toi, l'harmonie et moi la lyre,
Moi l'arbuste et toi le zéphyre,
Moi [la]1 lèvre et toi le sourire,
Moi l'amour et toi la beauté!

Tandis que l'heure
S'en va fuyant,
Mon chant qui pleure
Dans l'ombre effleure
Ton front riant!
