by Philippe Huc (1889 - 1941), as Tristan Derème

Personne ne saura jamais
Language: French (Français) 
Personne ne saura jamais
Que je te vis cueillir des roses
Au mois de Mai
Sur les rosiers aux étiquettes de bois jaune par un ciel bleu
Comme ta robe
Personne ne saura jamais
Que tu fus douce à ma colère
Au mois de Mai
Que tu pleurais dans un bouquet de violettes 
Que les larmes mouillaient tes lèvres
Personne ne saura jamais
Trop transparentes libellulles
Au mois de Mai
Ton léger souvenir s'enfuit comme une plume de tourterelle
Au clair de lune.
