by Georges de Porto-Riche (1849 - 1930)

Vous qui savez tous mes revers
Language: French (Français) 
Vous qui savez tous mes revers,
Vous souriante aux impudences,
Vous qui gardez les confidences,
Vous qui mettez en vos yeux verts
Une ombre de mélancolie
Afin d'être un peu plus jolie,
Vous qui la connaissez, je crois,
Qui prouvez qu'on put à la fois
Être indulgente et rester forte,
Oh ! dites-lui que je l'attends,
Et qu'il faut bien de temps en temps
Qu'elle passe devant ma porte.
