by Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (1802 - 1870)

En me promenant hier au rivage
Language: French (Français) 
En me promenant hier au rivage,
Où pendant une heure à vous j’ai rêvé,
J’ai laissé tomber mon cœur sur la plage ;
Vous veniez ensuite et l’avez trouvé.

Aujourd’hui, comment arranger l’affaire ?
Les procès sont longs, les juges vendus,
Je perdrai ma cause. Et pourtant, que faire
Vous avez deux cœurs et je n’en ai plus.

Mais quand on le veut, pourtant, tout s’arrange,
Et souvent un mal finit par un bien :
De nos cœurs entre eux faisons un échange,
Donnez-moi le vôtre, et gardez le mien.
