Piece of verse originally published in 1827 in the Bordeaux journal Le Kaléidoscope, included in 1830 by Marceline Desbordes-valmore in her collection Poésies (Paris, A. Boulland).
"Look at him, but not for long.
One look will be enough, be sure,
To forgive him the wound
That made my sweet spring languish:
Look at him, but not for long.
...
Be silent, if he asks to see me.
I may have fled his fickle intoxication;
But hide myself from his tenderness,
God gives not the power:
Be silent if he asks to see me.
... "
