by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Tu m'as dit :Nos yeux sont pareils
Language: French (Français) 
Tu m'as dit : « Nos yeux sont pareils 
Et le même bleu les colore. » 

— La teinte des couchants vermeils 
Ressemble à celle de l'aurore. 

Dans leur crépuscule incertain 
Luit la même flamme doréa. 

— Tes yeux sont couleur de Matin ; 
Les miens sont couleur de Vesprée. 

Sous leur voile, le même bruit 
Est triste ou joyeux, suivant l'heure. 

— Dans tes yeux, c'est l'Espoir qui luit ; 
Dans les miens, le Souvenir pleure.
