Les sanglots longs Des violons De l'automne Blessent mon cœur D'une langueur Monotone. Tout suffocant Et blême, quand Sonne l'heure, Je me souviens Des jours anciens Et je pleure ; Et je m'en vais Au vent mauvais Qui m'emporte Deçà, delà, Pareil à la Feuille morte.
Trois mélodies

Le matin riait, ingénu ; Tu m'as dit : Viens ! je suis venu. Un peu plus tard, tu m'as dit : Chante ! J'ai chanté ta grâce méchante. Mais vint la nuit, la nuit d'été : Tu m'as dit : Pars ! je suis resté.

3. Matin d'octobre [sung text not yet checked]
Language: French (Français)
C'est l'heure exquise et matinale Que rougit un soleil soudain. A travers la brume automnale Tombent les feuilles du jardin. Leur chute est lente. Ou peut les suivre Du regard en reconnaissant Le chêne à sa feuille de cuivre, L'érable à sa feuille de sang. Les dernières, les plus rouillées, Tombent des branches dépouillées : Mais ce n'est pas l'hiver encor. Une blonde lumière arrose La nature, et, dans l'air tout rose, On croirait qu'il neige de l'or.
