by Charles Fuster (1866 - 1929)

Infini !
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Poursuivis par le même rêve,
Fatigués de vie et de bruit,
Nous nous en allions sur la grève,
Parmi les languers de la nuit.

Le cœur troublé, les mains brûlantes,
Nous écoutions ces cries amers
Et les vagues lourdes et lentes
Nous disaient l’infini des mers.

La brise pleurait dans les branches ;
Nous regardions, silencieux, -
Et, là-haut, les étoiles blanches
Nous disaient l’infini des cieux.

Et tes yeux, pleins de douces ombres
Qu’illuminait l’amour vainqueur,
Tes grands yeux chauds, tes grands yeux sombres
Me disaient l’infini du cœur.

Et tout, les vagues en demence,
Les étoiles dans le ciel bleu
L’immense mer, l’amour immense,
Nous disait l’infini de Dieu.
