by Maurice Bouchor (1855 - 1929)

Tu sais comme, l'autre soir
Language: French (Français) 
Tu sais comme, l'autre soir,
Le petit sentier que j'aime
Te fit peur, étant tout noir,
Et te fit rire quand même.

Tu t'appuyais à mon bras ;
Tu sais, - nous nous regardâmes,
Et les « Ne m'oubliez pas »
Avaient ce soir-là des âmes.

Des âmes, non des couleurs,
Des sourires, non des feuilles ;
C'est comme cela, les fleurs,
Toutes les fleurs, que tu cueilles.

Et comme tu te taisais,
Effeuillant des marguerites,
Moi, dans l'ombre, je baisais
Tes mains blanches et petites.
