by Georges de Porto-Riche (1849 - 1930)

Et pourtant un accord tacite
Language: French (Français) 
Et pourtant, un accord tacite
Semblait nous unir à jamais.
Que m'importait la réussite !
Je n'avais pas de but, j'aimais.

Je tressaillais à sa venue,
C'était toujours un plaisir sûr.
Je bénissais cette inconnue,
Belle comme un bonheur futur.

La médiocrité des âmes,
La médiocrité des faits
Et la laideur des autres femmes
Pesaient moins sur mes jours défaits.

Dans le chagrin causé par elle
Tous mes chagrins s'étaient perdus.
Que vais-je faire, ô criminelle,
De ces baisers qui vous sont dus ?
