by Louise de Vilmorin (1902 - 1969)

Oh ! Mes amours
Language: French (Français) 
Dans un beau palais de regrets,
Dans un beau palais tout de même,
Ma belle est morte d’un secret,
La tempe bleue. Oh ! mes amours.

Aux colonnes du souvenir
Refleurit la plante première,
Liane aux feuilles de plaisir,
Feuille à cueillir. Oh ! mes amours.

Froide à mes voeux un rêve lent
Guida ses pas jusqu’à l’absence.
Elle riait en m’écoutant,
Elle riait. Oh ! mes amours.

Sur la table ses gants posés,
Son éventail de perfidie
Gardent le geste apprivoisé
Qu’elle a perdu. Oh ! mes amours.

Voyez, voyez l’oiseau du temps
S’envole de sa main lassée.
Va-t-elle rire en son drap blanc
Sur l’autre rive ? Oh ! mes amours.

Aux colonnes de l’avenir
Fleurira la plante dernière
Liane aux feuilles à mourir
Feuille à cueillir. Oh ! mes amours.
