Élégie
Language: French (Français)
Ô, doux printemps d'autre fois, vertes saisons, Vous avez fui pour toujours! Je ne vois plus le ciel bleu; Je n'entends plus les chants joyeux des oiseaux! En emportant mon bonheur, mon bonheur... Ô bien-amé, tu t'en es allé! Et c'est en vain que [le printemps revient!]1 Oui, sans retour, avec toi, le gai soleil, Les jours riants sont partis! Comme en mon coeur tout est sombre et glacé! Tout est flétri pour toujours!
