by Charles van Lerberghe (1861 - 1907)
Je me poserai sur ton cœur
Language: French (Français)
Ut signaculum. Je me poserai sur ton cœur Comme le printemps sur la mer, Sur les plaines de la mer stérile Où nulle fleur ne peut croître, A ses souffles agiles, Que des fleurs de lumière. Je me poserai sur ton cœur Comme l'oiseau sur la mer, Dans le repos de ses ailes lasses, Et que berce le rythme éternel Des flots et de l'espace.
