by Henri Cazalis (1840 - 1909), as Jean Lahor

Ma pensée est sereine et rêve parfumée
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ma pensée est sereine et rêve parfumée,
Comme la chambre heureuse où dort la bien-aimée.

Large fleur au cœur blanc qui parfume la nuit,
La lune sur l'étang du ciel s'épanouit.

Ma pensée est sereine et rêve caressée
D'une odeur de santal que tes bras m'ont laissée.
