by Arthur Justin Léon Leclère (1874 - 1966), as Tristan Klingsor

Sous la pluie
Language: French (Français) 
     Il pleut. La marguerite 
Prend un champignon comme parapluie ; 
    L'écureuil s'abrite 
    Sous un chêne gris, 
        Et moi 
Sous un pommier de Barbarie. 

    J'écoute la chanson 
    D'amour et de folie 
    D'une fille seule 
    Au loin dans le bois ; 
    J'écoute la chanson 
    De mélancolie 
    De l'eau sur les feuilles, 
    Et je pense à toi. 

Et je regarde du côté de ta maison ; 
Mais est-ce seulement ce brouillard irisé 
    Qui m'empêche ainsi 
De voir si le rideau s'écarte à ta croisée, 
Mais est-ce seulement le brouillard de la pluie 
Ou celui d'une larme entre mes cils ?
