Mon beau sapinRoi des fortsQue j'aime ta verdureQuand, par l'hiverBois et guretsSont dpouillsDe leurs attraits

Mon beau sapinRoi des fortsTu gardes ta parure

Toi que NolPlanta chez nous

Au saint anniversaire

Joli sapinComme ils sont douxEt tes bonbons et tes joujouxToi que NolPlanta chez nousTout brillant de lumire

Mon beau sapinTes verts sommetsEt leur fidle ombrageDe la foi qui ne ment jamaisDe la constance et de la paixMon beau sapinTes verts sommets

M' offrent la douce image
