Romanticism in French poetryexcerpt from
Lamartine, The Lake

• Jealous time, can it be that these moments of
  drunken delight
• Where love pours out on us, happiness
• Flies away from us with the same speed
• As unhappy days?
• What? Is it gone forever? What? Is it completely
  lost?
• Hey what? Can we never fix our step?
• Time which gives them, erases, them
• Will not give them back?
• Eternity, nothingness, past, dark abysses
• What do you do with the days you devour?
• Talk to us Will you never give back to us 
• What you've taken?
• Oh lake! Oh silent rocks! Caves! Obscure forest!
• All that time spares or gives birth to again
• Save this night, save nature
• At least the memory!

• May it be in your rest and in your storms
• Beautiful lake, and in your coastline
• And in the black trees and in the rocks
• Which hang over your waters!
• May it be in the water and wind that passes
• In the sounds of your shorelines that
• In the star with its silver forehead
• Which to surface with its soft clear light!
• May the wind which groans and the reed which
  sighs
• May the wind sense of your embalmed air
• May all that one hears that one sees, that one
  smells,
• Say, "They loved!"
