by Léon-Émile Petitdidier (1839 - 1927), as Émile Blémont

J'ai peur de cueillir la fleur
Language: French (Français) 
J'ai peur de cueillir la fleur
  Fraîche et satinée :
Elle serait, sur mon cœur,
  Si vite fanée !

Mais un antre la prendra,
  Si je ne la cueille ;
Ou le vent l'emportera
  Bientôt, feuille à feuille.

Viens donc, ô fleur, apaiser
  Mon deuil quelques heures,
Et mourir dans un baiser,
  S'il faut que tu meures !
