Dans le parc

Dans le parc triste et qui s'endeuille 
on peut encore apercevoir 
au bout léger d'un rameau noir 
frissonner la dernière feuille ! 

Est-ce vous qui venez vers moi ?... 
Le vieil amour va-t-il renaître ? 
Mais, hélas ! Sans me reconnaître, 
vous passez, rapide... Pourquoi ? 


Il vente, il pleut... on marche vite... 
Sans même le voir on évite 
le vieux banc où nul ne s'assied, 

Et comme une aile qui se brise 
la feuille morte sous la bise, 
en tournoyant tombe à vos pieds !
