by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Très‑pâle et le front ceint de...
Language: French (Français) 
Très-pâle et le front ceint de marguerites,
Ses grands yeux levés et qui, somnolents,
Semblaient lire au ciel des choses écrites,
Elle s'en allait, rêveuse, à pas lents,
Si pâle et le front ceint de marguerites !

Très-douce et ne parlant plus à la terre
Qu'avec son sourire et comme tout bas,
Elle allait cueillant la fleur solitaire
Qu'un rêve faisait naître sous ses pas..,
Si douce et ne parlant plus à la terre !

Très frêle et pareille au roseau qui penche,
Un faix invisible inclinait son front.
Va, repose en paix, ma colombe blanche,
Toi que plus jamais mes yeux ne verront
Si frêle et pareil au roseau qui penche.
