Si tu [me parles]1, quelque soir, [Du]2 secret de mon cœur malade, Je te dirai, pour t'émouvoir, Une très ancienne ballade. Si tu me parles de [tourment]3, D'espérance désabusée, J'irai te cueillir, seulement, Des roses pleines de rosée. Si, pareille à la fleur des morts Qui [se plaît]4 dans l'exil des tombes, Tu veux partager mes remords... Je t'apporterai des colombes.
