by Paul Robiquet (1848 - 1928)

Puisqu'elle a pris ma vie et que j'ai pris la sienne
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG LIT
Puisqu'elle a pris ma vie et que j'ai pris la sienne ;
Puisque chaque matin d'extase est embaumé !
Puisque chaque printemps fleurit la tige ancienne,
Puisque je fus aimé :

Le vent peut emporter les feuilles épuisées...
Le ciel peut se voiler et le bois peut jaunir...
Mais rien n'arrachera, de nos mains enlacée,
La fleur du souvenir! ...
Puisque je fus aimé!
