MAUPASSANT, Guy de (1850-1893). Autograph poem entitled " Voici mon compliment ". S.l., " Nuit de Noël 1872 ". 2 pp. in-12. Old trace of tab, a few pale stains. Charming youthful poem, consisting of six quatrains: "In this joyous time of new year / The custom prescribes to make a gift / One gives a flower soon faded, / The other a memory soon forgotten. I, if my heart followed the prayer, / Would bring pearls to your feet, / But the purse, alas! is the advisor / That before our heart we must listen. I see everywhere on your shelves / Happy memories, cute and coquettish, / The flowery herd of light things, / The small jewels and the big bouquets. However, my purse is empty and my heart sighs: / If even a bouquet wanted to give you, / Would be so puny that it would make you laugh / And that you could not forgive me [...] ".
