by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Quand les roses seront flétries
Language: French (Français) 
Quand les roses seront flétries,
Quand les soleils seront éteints,
Quand les sources seront taries
Au fond des paradis lointains ;

Quand nos amours longs et fidèles,
De leur vol fatigant les airs,
Pour s’enfuir d’un même coup d’ailes
Se chercheront auk lieux déserts ;

Quand sur le deuil de toutes choses
L’Ame immortelle pleurera,
Aux soleils, aux sources, aux roses,
Seul, ton souvenir survivra.
