by Henri Martin (1860 - 1943)

Ô temps suspends ton vol
Language: French (Français) 
Venir un jour de Pâques après bien des années
côte à côte admirer le lac vert qui sourit
Se dire que ces fleurs ne s'étaient pas fanées
qui dans l'éloignement du cœur avaient fleuri

chercher de souvenirs qui flottent sur la grève
et tourner en tremblant la clef d'or d'un coffret
y cacher son trésor comme on chérit un rêve
Sentir dans les seins lourds tressaillir son secret

Tendre des mains d'amour vers la nuit opaline
n'avoir pas effeuillé la rose en son printemps
s'ouvrir comme un beau lys sous la lune câline
et supplier le ciel de suspendre le temps.
