by (Julien) Auguste Plage Brizeux (1803?6 - 1858)

La plainte du pêcheur
Language: French (Français) 
Fenêtre demi-close et maîtresse cruelle,
Quels soupirs et quels cris vous me faites jeter !
Mon cœur est un volcan, il tonne, il étincelle
Pour vous, si belle aux yeux qu'on ne peut vous chanter.
Ô maîtresse cruelle !

Que la neige, ô Stella, vous serve de modèle !
La neige est blanche et froide et se laisse toucher :
Vous êtes, ô Stella, blanche et froide comme elle,
Vous me voyez mourir, et sans vous approcher,
ô maîtresse cruelle !
