by Paul Barthélemy Jeulin (1863 - 1936), as Paul Gravollet

Mirage
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI
De loin, tu paraissais très grande
Et très grave aussi;
Maintenant je me demande
Comment j'ai pu te voir ainsi!
Mon amour était tout transi,
Je n'osais pas aller à toi,
Je tremblais de te déplaire,
Et c'était plus fort que moi,
Tu me faisais peur, ô chère!
Mais tu vins a me rencontre
Avec ton rire gracieux,
Ton joli rire qui montre
Un peu de l'azur des cieux;
Je te serrai sur mon coeur,
Fier, enivré, triomphant!
Et je vis à ta candeur,
Que tu n'étais qu'une enfant!
