by Ulrich Guttinguer (1785 - 1866)

Marguerite
Language: French (Français) 
Je languis de te voir, 
Je meurs de ton absence, 
J'appelle chaque soir 
Ton baiser, ta présence. 
Quand loin de son appui 
Ce faible cœur s'agite, 
Malheureux comme lui, 
Songe à la pauvre Marguerite !  

Rien ne distrait mon cœur 
De ta chère pensée, 
Toujours de sa douleur 
Mon âme est oppressée. 
De ton lointain retour 
Déjà mon sein palpite. 
Pour payer tant d'amour 
Songe à la pauvre Marguerite !  

Je n'éprouve qu'ennui 
Des plaisirs de la terre, 
Il faut vivre avec lui 
Ou vivre solitaire; 
Du monde mécontent 
Ce triste cœur l'évite. 
O toi que j'aime tant, 
Songe à la pauvre Marguerite !
