Nous n'irons plus au jardin des roses : L'heure a fané les lilas légers Et l'automne a défeuillé les roses... Nous n'irons plus songer. Nous n'irons plus au jardin des lèvres : Le vent heurte l'huis déjà fermé Et les baisers meurent sur les lèvres... Nous n'irons plus aimer. Les pastours sont partis et les pages Pour d'autres châteaux ou d'autres prés : D'autres belles vont sourire aux pages... Nous n'irons plus pleurer.
