by Armand Renaud (1836 - 1895)

La gargoulette, pleine d'eau
Language: French (Français) 
La gargoulette, pleine d'eau,
Qui, sans la chûte d'une goutte, 
Sur ta tête reste à niveau,
Pendant que tu tressailles toute ; 

Tes yeux dans l'infini perdus,
Sous l'eau calme ta face inerte,
Quand, la hanche et les seins tordus, 
Tu danses, de frissons couverte,

Enseignent que la volupté 
Doit nous agiter de ses flammes, 
Sans qu'une goutte de beauté 
En brille de moins, dans nos âmes.
