Sur mon front, comme Marguerite
Language: French (Français) 
Sur mon front, comme Marguerite,
Je porte mon secret écrit ;
J'aime les étangs et j'habite 
Partout où l'eau se creuse un lit ;
Ma fleur d'un bleu pâle sagite
Au moindre vent, au moindre bruit ;
Ma coupe d'or est si petite
Qu'une larme d'oiseau l'emplit.
Je n'ai ni parfum, ni richesse,
Et si, près de moi, l'on s'empresse,
Si l'on m'interroge tout bas,
C'est que ma corolle inquiète,
En songeant aux absents, répète :
Ne m'oubliez pas ! Ne m'oubliez pas !
