Les roses de Schiraz sont flétries Chère Mirza ; le bel oiseau Ne chante plus sur le bord des eaux ; L'ibis est mort dans les roseaux Et je ne sais plus les histoires de féerie De Schéhérazade ou d'Aladdin ; Toutes les cassolettes de myrrhe et d'ambre gris, Tous les brûle parfums sont éteints Et la lampe merveilleuse s'est brisée, Mais j'ai gardé le goût de tes baisers.
