by Henri Cazalis (1840 - 1909), as Jean Lahor

Mon cœur qui t'aime!
 (Sung text for setting by F. Tosti)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Monotone, triste et charmant, 
Il est un vieil air de la Perse
Qui t'enveloppe doucement, 
T'alanguit, t'adore et te berce,

Et te raconte, ô mon amour, 
Mon ancienne mélancolie,
Avant que ta tendresse un jour 
Ne m'eût guéri de ma folie.

Les yeux ne parlent pas assez,
La bouche aussi ne peut tout dire : 
Par ces chansons des temps passés 
Je cause avec toi, je soupire ;

Et la musique sait bien mieux
Que je ne saurai moi-même,
En un baiser délicieux
Te verser tout mon cœur qui t'aime !
Confirmed with L'Illusion, Troisième édition, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1893, p. 136.
