3. Parfum de fleur
 (Sung text)

Subtitle: Poème de Chine

Language: French (Français) 
Chaque beau jour qui s'écoule
Fuit pour ne plus revenir;
Le clair printemps se déroule,
Le printemps pur va finir.

Je rêve; ma rêverie
Est un abîme sans fond,
Où la vision fleurie
Et la fleur qui meurt s'en vont

"Toute candeur toute aurore,
Passe et s'éteint sans motif!"
Voilà ce qu'à l'air sonore
Confie un oiseau plaintif.

La fleur Jo, comme elle est fraiche!
La fleur Lan, quel fin joyau!
Puis la fleur Lan se dessèche,
L'ombre emporte la fleur Jo.

Elle est divine et succombe
La fleur au parfum subtil!
La fleur penche, la fleur tombe;
Mais son parfum où va-t'il?
