POEM OF THE DAY
MUSSET, Alfred de: CHANSON
Quand on perd, par triste occurrence,
Son espérance
Et sa gaîté,
Le remède au mélancolique,
C'est la musique
Et la beauté !
Plus oblige et peut davantage,
Un beau visage
Qu'un homme armé,
Et rien n'est meilleur que d'entendre
Air doux et tendre
Jadis aimé !
