Si le mal d'amour tient en peinne ton coeur en proie au noir souci prends le sentier d'ombre tui mène au vert vallon fleuri A pas lents arrive à la pierre là sur la mousse assieds toi Adresse aux verts une prière à la source, aux nuages, aux bois Car la nature est une mère qui consolera tes douleurs en séchant tes larmes amères avec un frais bouquet de fleurs
