by Henri François Alexandre Passerieu (d. 1937)

Fleur messagère
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
J'ai mis sur cette fleur un baiser plein d'ivresse,
Pour vous qui m'avez pris tout mon coeur en un jour.
Puissiez-vous deviner la discrète caresse
De cet ardent baiser d'amour!

J'ai raconté tout bas à la fleur palpitante
La joie et les douleurs qui me viennent de vous
Puissiez-vous retrouver dans son odeur troublante
Ces aveux sincères et fous!

Enfin dans cette fleur j'ai mis toute mon âme,
Comme si je croyais au langage des fleurs,
Et j'ai laissé tomber, brûlants comme la flamme,
Dans son calice, tous mes pleurs!
