by Léon-Paul Fargue (1876 - 1947)
Ô misère de trop aimer
Language: French (Français)
Ô misère de trop aimer. On se tient mal à cause de cela. Lorsqu'on donne la main, on rougit. Pourtant nous touchons aux fleurs, Aux cristaux, aux petits encriers. Et l'on se touche, pour pleurer. Il me faut beaucoup de silence. Rien qu'un bruit... Tranquille au parc bleu. Pas de l'enfant qui se lamente En souvenir de tes yeux bleus.
G. Auric sets stanza 1
