by Catulle Mendès (1841 - 1909)

Ton cœur est d'or pur; tout est vrai
Language: French (Français) 
Ton cœur est d'or pur; tout est vrai, 
Net et loyal dans ta nature;
Mais l'espoir dont je m'enivrai 
S'achève en doute et me torture.

Ah ! ma sœur, j'ai vu si souvent, 
A l'heure morne où la nuit tombe,
Mes rêves dispersés au vent
Comme des plumes de colombe !
