by Gérard Labrunie (1808 - 1855), as Gérard de Nerval

Belle épousée
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Belle épousée
J'aime tes pleurs!
C'est la rosée
Qui sied aux fleurs.

Les belles choses
N'ont qu'un printemps,
Semons de roses
Les pas du Temps!

Soit brune ou blonde
Faut-il choisir?
Le Dieu du monde,
C'est le Plaisir.
