L'absence
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Objet chéri, loin de toi que j'adore,
Puis-je espérer un moment de bonheur ?
Le jour se passe, et la nuit vient encore
Sans appaiser mes regrets et ma douleur.

J'attends demain; après lui je soupire,
Comme aujourd'hui va-t-il donc s'écouler ?
Brûlant d'espoir mon coeur bat, il désir...,
L'heureux demain, toujours doit-il s'envoler.

Dieu du plaisir, oui, c'est toi que j'implore,
De mes chagrins termines en le cours ?
Fais, que je dise à la nouvelle aurore,
Je vais revoir les ris et mes amours !
