Évariste de Parny: Aimer est un destin charmant

 

Aimer est un destin charmant

Aimer est un destin charmant ;
C’est un bonheur qui nous enivre,
Et qui produit l’enchantement.
Avoir aimé, c’est ne plus vivre,
Hélas ! c’est avoir acheté
Cette accablante vérité,
Que les serments sont un mensonge,
Que l’amour trompe tôt ou tard,
Que l’innocence n’est qu’un art,
Et que le bonheur n’est qu’un songe.

Évariste de Parny
(1753-1814)
Aimer est un destin charmant
Élégies (1784)
