Oisive jeunesse
A tout asservie
Par d?catesse
J'ai perdu ma vie
Ah ! Que le temps vienne
O?s cœurs s'?ennent !
Je me suis dit : laisse
Et qu'on ne te voie
Et sans la promesse
De plus hautes joies
Que rien ne t'arr?
Auguste retraite
J'ai tant fait patience
Qu'?amais j'oublie
Craintes et souffrances
Aux cieux sont parties
Et la soif malsaine
Obscurcit mes veines
Ainsi la patrie
A l'oubli livr?
Grandie, et fleurie
D'encens et d'ivraies
Au bourdon farouche
De cent sales mouches
Ah ! Mille veuvages
De la si pauvre ?
Qui n'a que l'image
De la Notre-Dame !
Est-ce que l'on prie
La Vierge Marie ?
Oisive jeunesse
A tout asservie,
Par d?catesse
J'ai perdu ma vie
Ah ! Que le temps vienne
O?s cœurs s'?ennent !
