| Where the fig and the fir tree are one | B |
| Where the brave corn is lifting bent sabres | A |

| Of night and retreat to advance | D |

| Reward yet may never know wrong | J |

| Where passion was born and where blushes | E |
| Gave birth to my songs of the South | L |
| And a song is a love tale and rushes | E |
| Unchid through the red of the mouth | L |

| Where an Adam in Eden reposes | E |
| I repose I am glad and take wine | M |
| In the clambering redolent roses | E |
| And under my fig and my vine | M |
