by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

J'ai bien foulé de douces choses
Language: French (Français) 
J'ai bien foulé de douces choses 
Sur le chemin des cœurs blessés.
-- Trop vite, j'ai cueilli les roses,
Trop vite, hélas ! et pas assez ! 

J'ai bien vu de doux fronts de femme,
De longs cheveux de fleurs tressés.
-- Trop vite, j'enivrai mon âme,
Trop vite, hélas ! et pas assez !

De regrets, l'amour est suivie, 
Qui lentement sont effacés.
-- Trop vite, s'écoule la vie,
Trop vite, hélas ! et pas assez !
