Trois romances de P. J. Toulet

by Roland Alexis Manuel Levy (1891 - 1966), as Roland-Manuel

1. En Arles  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Dans [Arle]1, où sont les Aliscams,
Quand l'ombre est rouge, sous les roses,
Et clair le temps,

Prends garde à la douceur des choses. 
Lorsque tu sens battre sans cause
Ton coeur trop lourd ;

Et que se taisent les colombes :
Parle tout bas, si c'est d'amour,
Au bord des tombes.

3. Le Temps d'Adonis  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Dans la saison qu'Adonis fut blessé,
Mon caeur aussi de l'atteinte soudaine
D'un regard lancé.

Hors de l'abyme où le temps nous entraîne,
T'évoquerai-je, ô belle, en vain - ô vaines
Ombres, souvenirs.

Ah ! dans mes bras qui pleurais demi-nue,
Certe serais encore, à revenir,
Ah ! la bienvenue.
