Mes yeux pleuraient en rêve ! Ton âme avait fui dans la mort ! Voici le jour qui se lève Et mes larmes coulent encor ! Mes yeux pleuraient en rêve ! Ton cœur avait trahi sa foi ! Rêve cruel ! Il s’achève ! Je pleure encor sur toi ! Mes yeux pleuraient en rêve ! Le ciel me rendait mes amours ! Le rêve fuit, et sans trève Je pleure, hélas ! toujours !
