Six romances tirées de Gonzalves de Cordoue, nouveau roman de Mr. de Florian

by Jean-Baptiste Mayer

Rosier, rosier, jadis charmant

Language: French (Français) 
Rosier, rosier jadis charmant, 
Quand je venois sous ton ombrage
Entendre et faire le serment 
D'aimer chaque jour davantage ! 

Qu'elles étoient belles tes fleurs
Quand sa main les avoit cueillies ! 
Maintenant leurs tristes couleurs 
A mes yeux paroissent ternies. 

À t'apporter de claires eaux 
Nous trouvions tous deux mille charmes ; 
Aujourd'hui tes frêles rameaux 
Ne sont baignés que de mes larmes. 

Rosier, rosier tu vas périr ! 
Plus que toi mon amc est flétrie :
Mais je souffre, et ne puis mourir ;
Rosier, que je te porte envie !
