Analysis of A la belle impérieuse
Victor Marie Hugo 1802 (Besançon) – 1885 (Paris)
L'amour, panique
De la raison,
Se communique
Par le frisson.
Laissez-moi dire,
N'accordez rien.
Si je soupire,
Chantez, c'est bien.
Si je demeure,
Triste, à vos pieds,
Et si je pleure,
C'est bien, riez.
Un homme semble
Souvent trompeur.
Mais si je tremble,
Belle, ayez peur.
