by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Temps mélancolique d'automne
Language: French (Français) 
Temps mélancolique d'automne, 
J'adore, pour me souvenir, 
Ton jour pâlissant qui s'étonne
De voir le soir si tôt venir.

D'un regard perdu j'aime à suivre
Le vol pensif de mes regrets, 
Vers des couchants rayant de cuivre
La chevelure des forêts,

Et, blanches parmi les fumées
De tes horizons incertains,
A voir passer les bien-aimées
De mes rêves déjà lointains !
