by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Lève‑toi, chère ensevelie !
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Lève-toi, chère ensevelie !
Déchire ton linceuil de fleurs.
Tu n'as pas oublié mes pleurs ?
-- La plus chère larme s'oublie.

Je te retrouve un peu pâlie :
Qui t'a pris tes chères couleurs ?
-- J'ai longtemps dormi sous les fleurs,
Et le plus doux charme s'oublie !

Je ne sais par quelle folie,
Je t'aime encore sous tes pâleurs ?
Viens !... les roses boiront tes pleurs !
-- Le chemin des roses l'oublie !

Je meurs de ta mélancholie.
Viennent de nouvelles douleurs !
C'est le printemps ! Cueillons des fleurs !
Lève-toi, chère ensevelie !
