by Louis Charles Alfred de Musset (1810 - 1857)

La Solitude
Language: French (Français) 
La solitude en robe grise 
Entre chez nous à pas furtifs. 
Elle a des gestes attentifs 
Et de doux soins pour qui la prise.

Quand le couchant se vert-de-grise,
Quand nos cœurs deviennent pensifs,
La solitude en robe grise
Entre chez nous à pas furtifs. 

Aux heures de pénible crise, 
Entendant nos accents plaintifs, 
Caresse de ses doigts craintifs 
Nos larmes qu'elle poétise,
La solitude en robe grise.

Confirmed with Journal de l'Université des Annales, Cinquième Année, Tome II, Juillet - Novembre 1911, Paris, Secrétariat de l'Université des Annales, 1911, page 742.
