Exil
Language: French (Français) 
Sans toi je pleure,
Car tout m’est leurre
À l’avenir !
D’un souvenir
Prêt à venir
L’ombre m’effleure…
Trop courte est l’heure
À te bénir !
Et, tant je t’aime
Que je suis blême
Et que j’en meurs !
Oh ! Les rancœurs,
Dedans nos cœurs,
Que l’exil sème ;
Oh ! Jour suprême
De nos bonheurs !
Seul, je prolonge
Ce qui me ronge ;
Je l’ai goûté,
Dans la beauté
Du soir d’été
Où je me plonge…
Oh ! Le vrai songe
D’éternité
Douceur calmante !
Là-bas, charmante,
Elle s’endort…
Et, sans effort,
Triste, mais fort
Dans la tourmente,
Loin de l’amante,
J’attends la mort ! ...
