by Adolphe Ribaux (1864 - 1915)

J'avais rêvé d'une âme tendre
Language: French (Français) 
J'avais rêvé d'une âme tendre, 
Qui du seul amour fit sa loi.
Que de printemps je dus l'attendre !...
   Est-ce toi ? 

Poëte que le monde isole,
Je gardais malgré tout la foi 
En un sûr bonheur qui console... 
  Est-ce toi ?

Comme un joyeux rayon d aurore 
L'espoir toujours chantait en moi ;
Je cherchais une étoile encore... 
  Est-ce toi ? 

Comme la fleur à l'hirondelle 
Se donne sans savoir pourquoi,
J'avais rêvé d'un cœur fidèle... 
  Est-ce toi ?
