by François Barrillot (1818 - 1874)

La berceuse de la mort
Language: French (Français) 
Mon enfant s'est enfuie ;
Ce monde l'ennuyait,
Les larmes que j'ensuie,
Elle les essuyait.

Mon Dieu, si je m'ennuie,
C'est qu'elle souriait,
Cette part de ma vie,
Lorsque mon œil riait.

Son tertre funéraire
N'a pas de cinéraire,
Pas même une humble fleur.
Ma sa petite flamme
Vit toujours dans mon âme,
Sa tombe est dans mon cœur !
