by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Nostalgie
Language: French (Français)
Comme un doux soupir de cristal, L'âme des vieilles comédies Se plaint des allures raidies Du lent Pierrot sentimental. Dans son triste désert mental Résonne en notes assourdies, Comme un doux soupir de cristal, L'âme des vieilles comédies. Il désapprend son air fatal: A travers les blancs incendies Des lunes dans l'onde agrandies, Son regret vole au ciel natal, Comme un doux soupir de cristal.
