by ?, de Luigny, Monsieur

Suivons la lumière du flambeau d'amour
Language: French (Français) 
  Suivons la lumière du flambeau d'amour, 
  Sa flamme légère ne dure qu'un jour.

La sombre mélancolie
Sur le chemin de la vie
Sème à tort, à travers,
Les soins, les soucis, les regrets amers.

Souvent d'un sombre nuage
Sortent l'éclair et l'orage,
Le Ciel est embrasé,
Le Soleil brille et lui rend sa clarté.

Gardons pour notre vieillesse
Un retour vers la sagesse;
La saison du plaisir
S'échappe et fuit pour ne plus revenir.
