NE M'AIMES-TU PAS?

But should man bare his heart and his feelings for naught?
Should he follow a path with uncertainty fraught—
Shall he burn with a love that perhaps is unsought,
But to curse in the end the unrest it has brought?
Should he follow a path with uncertainty fraught—
Shall he burn with a love that perhaps is unsought,
But to curse in the end the unrest it has brought?
For love is a fearful, and dangerous thing—
Very pleasing it seems, but it has a sharp sting;
And the shafts that are feathered from Cupidon's wing,
When they wound one of two certain death they will bring.

Then, Élise, when you ask if I love you, I say:
"Je t'aime comme ma vie, si tu voudrais m'aimer."
"Je t'aime comme ma vie, si tu voudrais m'aimer."
