by Edouard Turquety (1807 - 1867)

Oh ! dis‑moi, le sais‑tu, mon seul bien,...
Language: German (Deutsch)

Oh ! dis-moi, le sais-tu, mon seul bien, mon seul rêve,
sais-tu que sur [le]1 sol où j'allais dépérir,
un rayon de tes yeux a réchauffé la séve
de l'arbuste prêt à mourir ?

Sais-tu que ma pauvre âme, errante et solitaire,
devina dans ton âme, à ses parfums de miel,
une rose cachée, une fleur de mystère
Épanouie [au vent]2 du ciel ;

Et que j'ai vu par toi descendre à travers l'ombre
l'amour, chaste lueur qu'aucun mortel ne fuit,
et qui se vient poser sur un visage sombre
comme l'étoile sur la nuit ?
