Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCA EFGF HIHI AJAJ| O lovely river of Yvette | A |
| O darling river like a bride | B |
| Some dimpled bashful fair Lisette | A |
| Thou goest to wed the Orge's tide | B |
| - | |
| Maincourt and lordly Dampierre | C |
| See and salute thee on thy way | D |
| And with a blessing and a prayer | C |
| Ring the sweet bells of St Forget | A |

| The valley of Chevreuse in vain | E |
| Would hold thee in its fond embrace | F |
| Thou glidest from its arms again | G |
| And hurriest on with swifter pace | F |
| - | |
| Thou wilt not stay with restless feet | H |
| Pursuing still thine onward flight | I |
| Thou goest as one in haste to meet | H |
| Her sole desire her head's delight | I |

| O lovely river of Yvette | A |
| O darling stream on balanced wings | J |
| The wood birds sang the chansonnette | A |
| That here a wandering poet sings | J |
