by Louise-Rose Gérard (1866 - 1953), as Rosemonde Gérard

Le cimetière
Language: French (Français) 
Le cimetière est un jardin
Rempli de fleurs et de lumière ;
Le jasmin fleurit sur la pierre,
L’oiseau chante sur le jasmin ;

Mais que le désespoir va loin
Dans une âme qui désespère…
Le cimetière est un jardin
Rempli de fleurs et de lumière.

C’est presque la mort, le chagrin !
Et j’ai, parmi l’herbe légère,
Compris l’erreur, l’erreur sans fin
C’est notre cœur, le cimetière…
Le cimetière est un jardin !
