by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Nous nous aimerons, si tu veux
Language: French (Français) 
  Nous nous aimerons, si tu veux, 
  Tout un printemps ! la douce chose ! 
  Je mettrai dans tes blonds cheveux 
La première violette et la dernière rose ! 

  Tant que les lis revêtiront 
  Leur manteau de neige et de soie ;
  Tant que les oiseaux chanteront,
Nous mettrons, si tu veux, en commun notre joie.

  Et seulement quand jaunira
  La verte toison des prairies,
  Le même souffle effeuillera
Nos défuntes amours et les roses flétries !
