by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

La source
Language: French (Français) 
La source va creusant, d’une larme immortelle,
Un nid pour les vautours, dans le flanc du granit :
Le souvenir amer, au fond du coeur fidèle,
Tel, filtrant sans relâche, à la mort fait son nid.

Et les vents embrasés, dont la source est tarie,
Ne sécheront jamais la blessure du coeur.
- Quelques-uns ne l’ont su, mais aucun ne l’oublie,
Cet amour qui nous fit la première douleur !
