Six Mélodies

by ? de Souza-Meïral

4. La Chute des étoiles  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
[ ... ]

Heureux qui vous suit, clartés mornes,
Ô lampes qui versez l'oubli !
Comme vous, dans l'ombre sans bornes,
Heureux qui roule enseveli !
Celui-là vers la paix s'élance :
Haine, amour, larmes, violence,
Ce qui fut l'homme est aboli.
Donnez-nous l'éternel silence,
Ô lampes qui versez l'oubli !
