Un grand sommeil noir Tombe sur ma vie : Dormez, tout espoir, Dormez, toute envie ! Je ne vois plus rien, Je perds la mémoire Du mal et du bien... Ô la triste histoire ! Je suis un berceau Qu'une main balance Au creux d'un caveau : Silence, silence !
Deux poèmes de Verlaine

2. Chanson d'automne  [sung text not yet checked]
Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne blessent mon cœur d'une langueur monotone. Tout suffocant et blême, quand sonne l'heure. je me souviens des jours anciens, et je pleure... Et je m'en vais au vent mauvais qui m'emporte de çà, de là, pareil à la feuille morte...
