Fleur du pêcher
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Fleur du pêcher frémissait Comme une aile rose du papillon crée la brise. Souriante l'eau qui reflête l'arbre fin. Quand finiront mes peines ? Le souffle d'Orient porte jusqu'à moi une odeur douce des péches en fleurs. Epuissé je les sens. Et levers maladif sort de mes lèvres. Ô vienne la nuit et ouvre tes bras aimables à ma peine. Le sommeil désiré.
