Déception
Language: French (Français)
Le soleil rayonnait encore. J'ai voulu revoir les grands bois, Où nous promenions autrefois Notre amour à sa belle aurore. Je mi disais: "Sur le chemin, Je la retrouverai, sans doute: Ma main se tendra vers sa main, Et nous nous remettrons en route." Je regarde partout. En vain! J'appelle! Et Vécho seul m'écoute! O le pauvre soleil pâli! O les pauvres bois sans ramage! O, mon pauvre amour, quel dommage! Si vite perdu dans l'oubli!
