Charles Ives - Rosamunde
Pleurant ta longue absence;
Reviens, reviens: sans ta présence
Pour moi plus de bonheur!
En vain fleurit le doux printemps
Tout fier de sa parure:
Rien ne me plaît dans la nature
Mon Dieu! que j'ai pleuré longtemps
Pourtant s'il ne doit plus venir?
Mon Dieu ! toi que j'implore!
Eh bien! la tombe peut encore
Au moins nous réunir
