by Georges Champenois

Par un soir d'hiver
Language: French (Français) 
Vous avez tendu vers la flamme claire,
Vos pieds engourdis et vos doigts frileux.
L'antique logis avait, pour vous plaire,
Mis ses vieux tapis les plus moelleux.

Mais, indifférente aux parfums des roses,
Des larmes tremblaient au bord de vos yeux,
Et moi, je baisais vos paupières closes
D'un baiser pensif et silencieux.

Et nous écoutions gémir sous la porte
L'âpre vent d'hiver errant dans la nuit,
Songeant au bonheur qu'un instant emporte
Au déclin des jours, au temps qui s'enfuit.
