by Bernard Zimmer (1893 - 1964)

Si le mal d'amour
Language: French (Français) 
Si le mal d'amour tient en peinne
ton coeur en proie au noir souci
prends le sentier d'ombre tui mène
au vert vallon fleuri
A pas lents arrive à la pierre
là sur la mousse assieds toi
Adresse aux verts une prière 
à la source, aux nuages, aux bois
Car la nature est une mère 
qui consolera tes douleurs 
en séchant tes larmes amères
avec un frais bouquet de fleurs
