by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Je lui rends la rose flétrie
Language: French (Français) 
Je lui rends la rose flétrie
Que réclame son ris moqueur,
Ce doux rien qui fut tout mon cœur !

Mais je ne veux pas qu'elle rie.

Je lui rends la frange de soie
Dont m'a lié son cœur méchant,
Et je la baise en me cachant :

Car je ne veux pas qu'elle voie.

Quand elle viendra tout à l'heure
Avec des larmes dans les yeux,
Je lui pardonnerai, joyeux :

Car je ne veux pas qu'elle pleure!
