by Lucien Paté (1845 - 1939)

Tu crois peut‑être que je t'aime
Language: French (Français) 
Tu crois peut-être que je t'aime,
Ô mon trésor!
Pour les cheveux, noir diadème,
Ou bien encore
Pour tes long cils, les lèvres roses,
Pour ton beau front;

Ne le crois pas,
Car ce sont choses qui passeront!
Ne le crois pas:
Ce serait croire que mon amour
Pourrait s'éteindre avec la gloire.
N'avoir qu'un jour!

Ne le crois pas:
Ce qu'en toi j'aime,
Sache le bien.
Le temps jaloux
Ni la mort même
N'y peuvent rien! Rien!

C'est quand sur toi
Le front se penche;
Pour te bien voir;
C'est ton âme,
Qu'on voit si blanche,
Dans ton oeil noir.
