by Maurice Vaucaire (1864 - 1918)

Pour que les morts ne voient plus ni...
Language: French (Français) 
Pour que les morts ne voient plus ni terre ni cieux.
On leur ferme les yeux, puis en terre on les couche.
Pour m'empêcher de parler d'amour, tu fis mieux
Puisqu'avec ton baiser tu m'as fermé la bouche.

Et ton baiser fut tel que depuis ce moment
Si j'approche une femme et si mon cœur frissonne,
Je sens qu'à tout jamais, perpétuellement,
Je ne pourrai plus parler d'amour à personne.
