Here are the original words by Paul Bourget [English version see below] Les feuilles s’ouvraient sur le bord des branches, délicatement. Les cloches tintaient, légères et franches, dans le ciel clément. Rhythmique et fervent comme une antienne, ce lointain appel me remémorait la blancheur chrétienne des fleurs de l’autel. Ce cloches parlaient d’heureuses années, et, dans le grand bois, semblaient reverdir les feuilles fanées, des jours d’autrefois. The leaves unfurled on branches so lightly delicate and soft. The bells rang out so light and pure in the cloudless sky Rhythmical and fervent a distant call like the anthems of old Called to mind the pure white lilies on holy altar's sacrifice Those bells spoke to me of happier times now gone And in the great wood they seemed to revive the faded leaves of days long since passed. (singing translation (c) David W Solomons).
