by Elena Vacarescu (1864 - 1947), as Hélène Vacaresco

Douleur au coeur dormant
Language: French (Français) 
Les fleurs se parlaient un soir
Osent, de ton désespair
Les fleur se parlainent entre elles
De tes courses éternelles
Et les fleurs de soupirer:
« Qu'at-il fait pour tant errer? »...
Un soir sous les gazons frèles
Les tombes parlaient entre elles
Et les tombaux bord à bord 
tout bas parlaient de la mort
De ceux dont la terre grise
Mange le cœur et le brise
Et les tombeaux de gémir
« Qu'ont ils fait pour tant dormir?...»
