by Catulle Mendès (1841 - 1909)

Le matin riait, ingénu
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Le matin riait, ingénu ;
Tu m'as dit : Viens ! je suis venu.

Un peu plus tard, tu m'as dit : Chante !
J'ai chanté ta grâce méchante.

Mais vint la nuit, la nuit d'été :
Tu m'as dit : Pars ! je suis resté.
