De sa dent soudaine et vorace, Comme un chien l'amour m'a mordu... En suivant mon sang répandu, Va, tu pourras suivre ma trace... Prends un cheval de bonne race, Pars, et suis mon chemin ardu, Fondrière ou sentier perdu, Si la course ne te harasse ! En passant par où j'ai passé, Tu verras que seul et blessé J'ai parcouru ce triste monde. Et qu'ainsi je m'en fus mourir Bien loin, bien loin, sans découvrir Le bleu manoir de Rosamonde.

With his abrupt and beastly tooth, love has bitten me like a dog... Following my bloodstains, go, and you will be able to follow my trace. Take a well-bred horse, leave, and follow my arduous way, bog or vanished path, if the race doesn't exhaust you! In passing where I passed, you will see that, alone and wounded, I passed through this sad world, And this is how I went off to my death, very far, far away, without finding the blue manor of Rosemonde.
