by Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (1786 - 1859)

Une Âme
Language: French (Français) 
Lasse de douleur,
D'espoir obsédée,
D'une fraîche idée,
D'un amour en fleur,
On dirait qu'une âme,
M'embrassant toujours,
De ciel et de flamme
Me refait des jours !

Dans ton souvenir,
Toi qui me recèles,
As-tu pris des ailes
Devant l'avenir ?
Car je sens qu'une âme,
M'embrassant toujours,
De ciel et de flamme
Me refait des jours !

N'es-tu pas dans l'air,
Quand l'air me caresse ;
Ou quand il m'oppresse,
Sous l'ardent éclair ?
On dirait qu'une âme,
M'embrassant toujours,
De ciel et de flamme
Me refait des jours !

Confirmed with Marcelline Desbordes-Valmore, Œuvres complètes, Paris: Alphonse Lemerre, 1922, Pages 115-116.
