by Jules Truffier (1856 - 1943)

Sonnet archaïque
Language: French (Français) 
Depuis vingt ans je vous adore
Sans être payé de retour ;
Le temps a passé comme un jour
Malgré le mal qui me devóre !

Ce front que la grâce décore,
Voici déjà poindre alentour
Quelques fils d'argent ... mon amour,
Invulnérable, est jeune encore.

Demain, cet amour entêté
Va survivre à votre beauté !
Pronocez, d'un jugement sage,

Sur ce long combat de mon cœur
En lutte avec votre visage :
Qui, des dieux, est le vrai vainqueur ?
