by Louis Charles Alfred de Musset (1810 - 1857)

Dans dix ans d'ici seulement
Language: French (Français) 
Dans dix ans d'ici seulement,
Vous serez un peu moins cruelle.
C'est long, à parler franchement.
L'amour viendra probablement
Donner à l'horloge un coup d'aile.

Votre beauté nous ensorcelle,
Prenez-y garde cependant :
On apprend plus d'une nouvelle
En dix ans.

Quand ce temps viendra, d'un amant
Je serai le parfait modèle,
Trop bête pour être inconstant,
Et trop laid pour être infidèle.
Mais vous serez encor trop belle
Dans dix ans.
