by Georges Dupré (1869 - 1909)

Chères larmes
Language: French (Français) 
Rêves d'amour, divins mensonges,
Laissant à peine un souvenir,
Vous vous envolez, tels les songes,
Que l'aube fait évanouir.

Rêves, espoirs, bonheurs, tout passe,
Les serments mêmes ne sont rien !
Hélas ! dans l'ombre tout s'efface,
Les larmes sont notre seul bien.

Ô mes pleurs, vous avez des charmes,
Je vous bénis en ma douleur.
Je vous adore, chères larmes,
Larmes d'amour, douces au cœur !
