by Georges de Porto-Riche (1849 - 1930)

Oh ! sois plus lente à m'exaucer
Language: French (Français) 
Oh ! sois plus lente à m'exaucer.
Demeure sourde à mes demandes ...
Tu ne sais pas, toi qui t'amendes,
Combien de pleurs je peux verser !

Est-il certain que je t'adore ?
D'âcres plaisirs m'ont perverti,
J'ai peur de moi, j'ai tant menti ;
Il ne faut pas me croire encore.

Faisons grandir mon sentiment
Sous ta cruelle résistance.
Songeons tous deux à l'importance
De ton premier consentement.

A plus d'une qui fut trop brave
Mon égoïsme a coûté cher.
Défends ton cœur, défends ta chair.
Hélas ! m'aimer, c’est chose grave.
