Plainte d'amour
 (Sung text for setting by X. Leroux)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Quand d’amour ; qui sût me meurtrir
Mon cœur trouvera délivrance,
Quand enfin j’aurai l’assurance
De pouvoir mes larmes tarir,
Je regretterai l’attirance
Que j’avais rêvé d’attendrir.

J’ai maintes fois pensé mourir
De suprême désespérance !
Mais la puls légère apparence,
Qui semblait mon rêve fleurir,
Ravivait ma persévérance
Et m’encourageait à souffrir.

Je chéris bien trop ma souffrance
Pour en vouloir jamais guérir !
J’ai maintes fois pensé mourir
De suprême désespérance !
Mon cœur en eût eu délivrance ;
Mais d’amour, qui sut me meurtrir,
Je chéris bien trop ma souffrance
Pour en vouloir jamais guérir !
