by Cécile Sauvage (1883 - 1927)

Mais je suis belle d'être aimée
Language: French (Français) 
Mais je suis belle d'être aimée,
Vous m'avez donné la beauté,
Jamais ma robe parfumée
Sur la feuille ainsi n'a chanté,
Jamais mon pas n'eut cette grâce
Et mes yeux ces tendres moiteurs
Qui laissent les hommes rêveurs
Et les fleurs même, quand je passe.
