Rayonnement discret de la lampe baissée, Douce plainte du lin par l'aiguille mordu, Chant léger qu'étouffait sur sa lèvre pressée Le baiser toujours pris et toujours défendu ! Vieux livre interrompu de lentes causeries, Silence qu'emplissaient de longs enchantements, Parfum toujours en fleur des roses défleuries, Calme des soirs passés près des tisons fumants ! -- Oh ! je baise en pleurant l'aile dont tu m'effleures, Souvenir éternel, regret inconsolé, Amour qui fus ma vie et qui t'es envolé, -- Charme de tous les lieux et de toutes les heures !
J. Massenet sets lines 10-11
