by Paul Jean Toulet (1867 - 1920)
Toute allégresse a son défaut
Language: French (Français)
Toute allégresse a son défaut Et se brise elle-même. Si vous voulez que je vous aime ; Ne riez pas trop haut. C’est à voix basse qu’on enchante Sous la cendre d’hiver Ce coeur, pareil au feu couvert, Qui se consume et chante.
