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.
