by Anna Elizabeth Mathieu, Comtesse de Noailles (1876 - 1933)

On m’a parlé ce soir des villes...
Language: French (Français) 
On m’a parlé ce soir des villes savoureuses
Qui sur les mers du Sud rêvent indolemment,
Répandant leur odeur de rose et de piment,
Sans connaître leur prix, sans se savoir heureuses !

Tu ressembles souvent, dans ton charme attristé,
À l’ignorant bonheur de ces rêveuses villes,
Toi qui fais émaner la chaude volupté
De ton être évasif, distrait, triste et tranquille…
