Le Miroir
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
L'odeur de vous flottait dans l'air silencieux : J'ai vu la chambre vide et la table laissée, Le livre où palpitait encor votre pensée, Le miroir qui luisait comme un morceau des cieux ; Alors, seul, je me suis incliné vers ces choses, Et j'ai pieusement, de mes deux lèvres closes, Baisé sur le miroir la place de vos yeux.
