by Henri Cazalis (1840 - 1909), as Jean Lahor

Tu me donnas ton cœur, tes yeux
Language: French (Français) 
Tu me donnas ton cœur, tes yeux, 
Ta jeune passion, tes lèvres ; 
Tu mis l'ombre de tes cheveux 
Sur mon front brûlé par les fièvres : 

Et pourtant je t'ai fuie un jour, 
Et j'ai voulu que tu m'oublies ;  
Et c'est aujourd'hui mon amour 
Qui te venge de mes folies ! 

C'est moi qui souffre comme un fou 
En pensant à la dernière heure 
Où tes bras étaient à mon cou :
C'est moi qui t'aime et moi qui pleure !
