by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud

Poussière rose
Language: French (Français) 
Une fine poussière rose
Danse à l’horizon du matin.
Un très doux orchestre lointain
Susurre un air de Cimarose.

Phœbé, comme une blanche rose,
Se meurt dans le ciel incertain.
Une fine poussière rose
Danse à l’horizon du matin.

Devant un Cassandre morose,
Fuit un falbala de satin
Qui traverse — en frôlant le thym
Qu’une fraîche rosée arrose —
Une fine poussière rose.

Confirmed with Albert Giraud, Héros et Pierrots, Paris, Librairie Fischbacher (Collection des poètes français de l’étranger), 1898, pages 157-158.
