| La fleur que tu m’avais jetée, Dans ma prison m’était restée. Flétrie et séche, cette fleur Gardait toujours sa douce odeur; Et pendant des heures entiéres, Sur mes yeux, fermant mes paupiéres, De cette odeur je m’enivrais Et dans la nuit je te voyais!

你曾扔给我的花 在獄中与我在一起。 这朵花枯干了 它的芬芳却常存；所有的时刻， 在我眼前，甚至我闭上眼睛, 它的香味陶醉了我而且我在晚上夢見你！
因为你只要出現， |
