9. Mélancolie  [sung text not yet checked]
Que ne t'ai-je connue au temps de ma jeunesse ! Dans un rêve d'amour j'aurais su t'enfermer. Tout renaît, le printemps, le jour, l'espoir d'aimer. Pourquoi n'est-il permis que notre âge renaisse ? Que ne t'ai-je connue au temps de ma jeunesse ! Que ne t'ai-je trouvée au penchant d'un chemin, Sans asile, meurtrie et de tous rebutée... Doucement, dans mes bras je t'aurais emportée, Le soleil sur le front et des fleurs dans la main... Que ne t'ai-je trouvée au penchant d'un chemin ! Que ne t'ai-je donné le meilleur de ma vie, L'or fragile et vivant de mes bonheurs perdus, Ce que m'ont pris l'ivresse et les baisers vendus ! Comme un prêtre à l'autel, que ne t'ai-je servie ! Que ne t'ai-je donné le meilleur de ma vie !

15. Les femmes de France  [sung text not yet checked]
La paix féconde nos sillons : Mais que, demain, vienne la guerre, Et l'on verra nos bataillons Marcher au feu comme naguère. Si, sous le ciel clair de l'été, Fleurit l'arbre de l'Espérance C'est que Dieu même l'a planté Dans le cœur des femmes de France ! La terre ne boit plus le sang Des blessés aux heures amères ; Sur ceux qui tombent dans le rang Veillent les femmes et les mères. -- Si, par les balles dévasté, Fleurit l'arbre de l'Espérance C'est que Dieu même l'a planté Dans le cœur des femmes de France ! Sous le talon des oppresseurs, Nos angoisses où donc sont-elles ? C'est par les mères et les sœurs Que les races sont immortelles ! -- Si, dans l'air de la liberté Fleurit l'arbre de l'Espérance, C'est que Dieu même l'a planté Dans le cœur des femmes de France !
