Comme chaque jour, je l'attends. Reviendra-t-elle ? Je pense au soir de l'adieu, au bruit de la porte qu'elle referma sans colère, au silence qu'il y eut dans mon âme. Comme chaque jour, je l'attends. Reviendra-t-elle ? Elle entrerait en disant, pour parler : « Je passais devant ta demeure, et je viens voir si les roses n'ont pas souffert de l'hiver... » Puis, elle sourirait à mon petit jar-din, à l'horizon calme, et je sais bien qu'elle ne repartirait pas.
