by Ioannes Papadiamantopoulos (1856 - 1910), as Jean Moréas
Ah ! rions un peu pendant que l’heure
Language: French (Français)
Ah ! rions un peu pendant que l’heure Le souffre ; Ah, rions sur le bord Du gouffre. Oh, si bon il est de rire, Quand on pense : Que nos cœurs loyaux n’auront point Leur récompense. Si j’avais toujours Votre front proche, Je serais sans peur Et sans reproche. Mais loin de vos yeux Je m’assimile Au fou qui combat Contre mille.
