by Henri Cazalis (1840 - 1909), as Jean Lahor

J'ai dans cette fleur mis mon cœur...
Language: French (Français) 
J'ai dans cette fleur mis mon cœur aimant, 
J'ai mis mes désirs, mes soupirs, mes fièvres :
Oh ! tout mon amour, bois-le longuement, 
En baisant la ileur collée à tes lèvres. 

Je voudrais de toi, si je te suis cher, 
En échange d'elle, une tubéreuse, 
Une fleur de rêve, et, comme ta chair, 
Ayant des blancheurs de morte amoureuse. 

Et j'aspirerais ses parfums troublants, 
Et, communion exquise, embaumée, 
Je croirais sentir en baisers très lents 
Sur mon cœur s'ouvrir ta bouche fermée.
