To George Sand VI

Poem by Alfred De Musset Period 19th century

Carry your life elsewhere, O you who were my life;
Pour elsewhere that treasure that was all I had.
Go seek other places, you who were my homeland,
Go bloom, O sun, O my beautiful darling,
Make another love rich, and remember mine.

Let my memory follow you far from France;
Let it rest on your heart, poor faded bouquet,
When you picked it, I knew Hope,
I believed in happiness, and all my suffering
Is to have lost it without having given it to you.

Alfred De Musset
