by Antoinette Deshoulières (1637 - 1694)

Ah ! que je sens d’inquiétude !
Language: French (Français) 
          Ah ! que je sens d’inquiétude ! 
Que j’ai de mouvements qui m’étaient inconnus ! 
Mes tranquilles plaisirs, qu’êtes-vous devenus ? 
          Je cherche en vain la solitude. 
D’où viennent ces chagrins, ces mortelles langueurs ? 
          Qu’est-ce qui fait couler mes pleurs 
Avec tant d’amertume et tant de violence ? 
De tout ce que je fais mon cœur n’est point content. 
Hélas ! cruel amour que je méprisais tant, 
Ces maux ne sont-ils point l’effet de ta vengeance ?
