Rosemonde
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
J'attends, hélas ! dans la douleur Pleurant ta longue absence ; Reviens, reviens: sans ta présence, Pour moi plus de bonheur ! En vain fleurit le doux printemps Tout fier de sa parure : Rien ne me plaît dans la nature. Mon Dieu ! que j'ai pleuré longtemps Pourtant s'il ne doit plus venir ? Mon Dieu ! toi que j'implore ! Eh bien ! la tombe peut encore Au moins nous réunir.
