De mon amie
Language: French (Français)
De mon amie, Fleur endormie, Au fond du lac Silencieux, J'ai vu dans l'onde Claire et profonde Étinceler Le front joyeux Et les doux yeux ! Ma bien aimée Est enfermée, Dans un palais D'or et d'azur ! Je l'entends rire Et je vois luire, Sur le cristal Du gouffre obscur. Son regard pur !
