by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

L'amour
Language: French (Français) 
Dans la verte forêt mouillée
Marcher à deux,
Se sentir l'âme ensoleillée,
Être amoureux !

Trembler parce qu’une main frêle
Vous a frôlé
Ou qu'un voile fin comme une aile
S'est envolé !

Pleurer pour que l'on vous sourie,
Pleurer encor !
Conserver une fleur flétrie
Comme un trésor !

Ah ! désirer celle qu'on aime
Eperdument
Et pris de peur n'oser voir même
Son pied charmant !

Errer le soir devant sa porte,
Le cœur en feu !
Être humble, absurde, enfant, n'importe !
Se sentir dieu !

Devenir cette heureuse proie,
Fut-ce un seul jour,
N'est ce pas la suprême joie ?
Amour, amour !
