by Maurice Kufferath (1852 - 1919), as Maurice Reymont

S'il revient
 (Sung text for setting by E. Rezniček)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Oui, c'est là, le nid embaumé,
Qui nous voila de mystère,
Où sa voix de mon cœur charmé
Caressait la chimère !

Je croyais à l'éternité
Des serments de l'infidèle !
Mais combien la réalité
Amon espoir  fut cruelle !

Eden où de mon souvenir
S'arrête la course errante,
En vain tu veux me retenir
Sous ton ombre bien faisante !

Et pourtant, s'il revient jamais,
L'amant ingrat, à lui même,
Tu lui diras, que je l'aimais,
Tu lui diras, que je l'aime !
