by Annie Perrey

J'ai trouvé sur mon chemin
Language: French (Français) 
J'ai trouvé sur mon chemin
Une rose morte.
De ma défaillante main,
Vois, je te l'apporte.

Son cœur d'amoureuse éteint,
Pétale à pétale,
Perd sa robe de satin
Et de velours pâle.

Puisqu'un parfum monte encor
De son agonie,
Que cette rose de  mort
te semble jolie.

Et que ta si blanche main
Enferme son âme morte,
Cueille son cœur souverain
Et mon cœur, qu'elle t'apporte.
