Nature immense
Language: French (Français)
Nature immense, impénétrable et fière, toi seule donnes trêve à mon ennui sans fin. Sur ton sein tout-puissant je sens moins ma misère, je retrouve ma force, et je crois vivre enfin. Oui, soufflez, ouragans, criez, forêts profondes, croulez rochers, torrents, précipitez vos ondes! A vos bruits souverains ma voix aime à s'unir. Forêts, rochers, torrents, je vous adore! Mondes, qui scintillez, vers vous s'élance le désir d'un cœur trop vaste et d'une âme altérée d'un bonheur qui la fuit.
