Ici-bas

Rene Francois Armand Prudhomme 1839 (Paris) – 1907 (Châtenay-Malabry)

Ici-bas tous les lilas meurent,
Tous les chants des oiseaux sont courts ;
Je rêve aux étés qui demeurent
Toujours...

Ici-bas les lèvres effleurent
Sans rien laisser de leur velours ;
Je rêve aux baisers qui demeurent
Toujours...

Ici-bas tous les hommes pleurent
Leurs amitiés ou leurs amours ;
Je rêve aux couples qui demeurent
Toujours...
