by Paul Jean Toulet (1867 - 1920)
Dormez, ami ; demain votre âme
Language: French (Français)
Dormez, ami ; demain votre âme prendra son vol plus haut. Dormez, mais comme le gerfaut, ou la couverte flamme. Tandis que dans le couchant roux passent les éphémères, dormez sous les feuilles amères. Ma jeunesse avec vous.
