Berceuse de Jocelyn

Cachés dans cet asile, où Dieu nous a conduits
Unis par le malheur, durant des longues nuits
Nous nous reposons tous deux, endormis sous les voiles
Ou prions aux regards de tremblantes etoiles.
Oh! ne t'eveilles pas encore
Pour qu'un bel ange de ton rêve
En deroulant son long fil d'or
Enfant, permets qu'il s'achève.
Dors, dors, le jour à peine a luit
Vierge Sainte veillez sur lui.
Sous l'azile du Seigneur,
Au loin du bruit de la journée
Et comme un flot sacré
Qui doucement s'ecoule
Nous avons vu les jours
Passer après les jours
Sans jamais nous lasser
D'implorer son secours.

Angels guard thee
Language:
English
Beneath the quiv'ring leaves, where shelter comes at last,
All sadness sinks to rest, or glides into the past;
Her sweet eyes prison'd now, in their soft silken bars,
O! my love, calm she sleeps beneath the trembling stars.
Ah! wake not yet from thy repose,
A fair dream spirit hovers near thee,
Weaving a web of gold and rose,
Through dream land's happy isles to bear thee!
Sleep, love, it is not yet the dawn,
Angels guard thee, sweet love, til morn!
Far from the noisy throng,
by song birds lulled to rest,
Where rock the branches
high by breezes soft carres'd;
Softly the days go on,
By sorrow all unharm'd,
Thus may life be to thee
a sweet existence charm'd.
