by Louis Pomey (1835 - 1901)

La Jota
Language: French (Français) 
Ô belle qui sous ton voile
Des nuits fais pâlir l’étoile,
Faut-il que jusqu’à l’aurore
Ma voix tremblante t’implore ?

Et veux-tu qu’en mon délire
Devant ta porte j’expire !
Quand d’un cœur l’amour s’empare
Aisément la tête s’égare,

La mort me paraît moins dure
Que la peine que j’endure !
Sois donc moins rebelle,
Beauté trop cruelle,
Et q’une parole
Du moins me console.
