by Léon Valade (1841 - 1884)

Profonds cheveux, cheveux d’or fin
Language: French (Français) 
Profonds cheveux, cheveux d’or fin,
Ondes où s’éteignaient les fièvres
De mon désir, vous que mes lèvres
Amoureuses baisaient sans fin !

Si la bouche souvent parjure,
Si les yeux méchants à dessein,
Et si la froideur du beau sein
Ont aggravé ma peine dure ;

Ce n’est pas à vous que j’en veux
De leur complicité cruelle,
Ô dernière innocence en Elle,
Cheveux d’or fin, profonds cheveux !
