Par les soirs bleus d'été, j'irai dans les sentiers, Picoté par les blés, fouler l'herbe menue : Réveur, j'en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds. Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tète nue ! Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien : Mais l'amour infïni me montera dans l'âme, Et j'irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien Par la Nature, -- heureux comme avec une femme.

Je maudissais la pluie qui faisait résonner mon toit et M'empêchait de dormir Je maudissais le vent qui saccageait mon jardin. Mais, tu es arrivée ! Et j'ai remercié la pluie, puisque tu as dû ôter ta robe Mouillée et j'ai remercié le vent, qui venait d'éteindre ma lampe.

Comme la lune dans le ciel bleu, je suis seule dans ma chambre. J'ai éteint la lampe, je pleure. Je pleure parce que vous êtes loin de moi et que vous ne saurez jamais combien je vous aime.
