by Astolphe, marquis de Custine (1790 - 1857)

La folle de St. Joseph
Language: French (Français) 
Mes pleurs, mouillez cette pierre,
coulez, coulez, il viendra,
et peut-être il se dira :
elle était là !
Ah ! mes pleurs, lavez la poussière,
ah ! coulez sur la pierre,
la pierre qu'il foulera,
coulez ! coulez !

Fleurs, tombez de ma couronne,
tombez et sur le gazon,
tracez le mot de pardon
avec son nom, avec son nom.
Du cruel, cruel qui m'abandonne,
partez fleurs de ma couronne,
vous serez mon dernier don,
tombez ! tombez !

Sur ce tetre solitaire
il verra planter la croix ;
moi dans la maison de bois
froide et sans voix.
Si son pied foule ma terre
je frémirai, je l'espère,
mais pour la dernière fois !
je frémirai ! je frémirai !
