by Philippe Huc (1889 - 1941), as Tristan Derême

Mon désespoir vers toi grave et...
Language: French (Français) 
Mon désespoir vers toi grave et silencieux
S'élève comme un lis d'automne vers les cieux;
Et devant notre rêve aux lentes agonies
Mon coeur est plein ce soir de larmes infinies.
Bonheur frêle, jasmins, églantines, lilas,
Les minutes en fleurs se flétrirent, hélas!
Et je sens, aujourd'hui que l'espoir me délaisse,
S'enrouler tendrement sur mon âme qu'il blesse
Et qu'il enserre en la douleur de ses replis,
Ton souvenir ainsi qu'un blanc volubilis.
