L'ombre des arbres dans la rivière embrumée Meurt comme de la fumée, Tandis qu'en l'air, parmi les ramures réelles, Se [plaignent]1 les tourterelles. Combien, ô voyageur, ce paysage blême Te mira blême toi-même, Et que tristes pleuraient dans les hautes feuillées, - Tes espérances noyées.
Douze Mélodies
by Charles Radoux Rogier (1877 - 1952)

9. Apaisement [sung text not yet checked]
Language: French (Français)
La lune blanche Luit dans les bois ; De chaque branche Part une voix Sous la ramée... Ô bien aimée. L'étang reflète, Profond miroir, La silhouette Du saule noir Où le vent pleure... Rêvons, c'est l'heure. Un vaste et tendre Apaisement Semble descendre Du firmament Que l'astre irise... C'est l'heure exquise.
