O lovely river of Yvette! O darling river! like a bride, Some dimpled, bashful, fair Lisette Thou goest to wed the Orge's tide. O lovely river Yvette! O darling stream! on balanced wings The wood-birds sang the chansonnette That here a wandering poet sings.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1883). “Longfellow's Poetical Works: With 83 Illustrations by Sir John Gilbert, R.A., and Other Artists”
