by Sofia Acquaviva d'Aragona , as the Countess of Castellana

Vous et moi
Language: French (Français) 
Vos yeux sereins et purs ont voulu me sourire,
Votre main comme une aile a caressé ma main,
Mais je ne sais trouver, hélas! rien à vous dire,
Car nous ne marchons pas dans le même chemin.
Vous êtes le soleil d'un beau jour qui commence,
Et moi la nuit profonde et l'horizon couvert;
Vous êtes fleur, étoile, et joyeuse cadence,
Vous êtes le printemps, et moi je suis l'hiver!
Vous buvez les rayons et respirez les roses,
Car vous êtes l'aurore, et moi la fin du jour;
Il faut nous dire adieu sans en chercher les causes,
Car je suis le regret, et vous êtes l'amour.
