by Georges-Louis Garnier (1880 - 1943)

Ce bruit, ce faible bruit
Language: French (Français) 
Ce bruit, ce faible bruit
Qui me point et me glace,
N'est-ce pas dans la nuit
Comme un pas qui s'efface ?

Nul pourtant n'est venu :
La maison, seul, m'abrite.
Quel est donc l'inconnu
Dont je sens qu'il me quitte ?

O muet voyageur
Emportant ton mystère,
C'est toi, c'est toi, mon cœur,
Déjà loin de la terre !
