De sa dent soudaine et vorace, Comme un chien l'amour m'a mordu... En suivant mon sang répandu, Va, tu pourras suivre ma trace... Prends un cheval de bonne race, Pars, et suis mon chemin ardu, Fondrière ou sentier perdu, Si la course ne te harasse ! En passant par où j'ai passé, Tu verras que seul et blessé J'ai parcouru ce triste monde. Et qu'ainsi je m'en fus mourir Bien loin, bien loin, sans découvrir Le bleu manoir de Rosamonde.

Love, like a dog, has bitten me with its sudden, voracious teeth... Come, the trail of spilt blood will enable you to follow my tracks. Take a horse of good pedigree and set off on the arduous route I took, through swamps and overgrown paths, if that's not too exhausting a ride for you! As you pass where I passed, you will see that I travelled alone and wounded through this sad world, and thus went off to my death far, far away, without ever finding Rosemonde's blue manor-house.
