by Maurice Bouchor (1855 - 1929)

L'amour, lointain et tout proche à la...
Language: French (Français) 
L'amour, lointain et tout proche à la fois,
Va nous mener à lui parmi les roses,
Dans un charmant et mystérieux bois
Où les chansons vont se mêlant aux proses.

Le rossignol nocturne et langoureux
Y chante bien [des]1 roulades qu'il perle ;
Mais pour narguer les pauvres amoureux,
Au lendemain siffle le joyeux merle. 

Vous pourrez voir, chère, mes billets doux
Aux verts buissons se suspendre sans cesse,
Avec du sang de mon cœur, qui pour vous
Laisse couler à grands flots sa jeunesse.

Et quand la brise, un beau jour, dans mes bras
Vous poussera, rougissante et charmée,
Des vieux serments laissant là le fatras,
Je vous dirai, tout pâle : « Ô bien-aimée! »
