by Pierre-Jules-Théophile Gautier (1811 - 1872)

J'ai dans mon cœur, dont tout voile...
Language: French (Français) 
J'ai dans mon cœur, dont tout voile s'écarte,
Deux bancs d'ivoire, une table en cristal,
Où sont assis, tenant chacun leur carte,
Ton faux amour et mon amour loyal.

J'ai dans mon cœur, dans mon cœur diaphane,
Ton nom chéri qu'enferme un coffret d'or ;
Prends-en la clef, car nulle main profane
Ne doit l'ouvrir ni ne l'ouvrit encor.

Fouille mon cœur, ce cœur que tu dédaignes
Et qui pourtant n'est peuplé que de toi,
Et tu verras, mon amour, que tu règnes
Sur un pays dont nul homme n'est roi !
