by Edmond Haraucourt (1856 - 1941)
Partir, c'est mourir un peu
Language: French (Français)
Partir, c'est mourir un peu, C'est mourir à ce qu'on aime : On laisse un peu de soi-même En toute heure et dans tout lieu. C'est toujours le deuil d'un vœu, Le dernier vers d'un poème ; Partir, c'est mourir un peu, C'est mourir à ce qu'on aime. Et l'on part, et c'est un jeu, Et jusqu'à l'adieu suprême C'est son âme que l'on sème, Que l'on sème en chaque adieu : Partir, c'est mourir un peu.
