Au Jardin de l'Infante, sept poèmes d'Albert Samain

Song Cycle by Maurice Le Corbeiller (flourished c1931)

6. Larmes  [sung text not yet checked]

Larmes aux fleurs suspendues,
Larmes de sources perdues
Aux mousses des rochers creux ;

Larmes d'automne épandues,
Larmes de [cors]1 entendues
Dans les grands bois douloureux ;

Larmes des cloches latines,
Carmélites, Feuillantines...
Voix des beffrois en ferveur ;

Larmes, chansons argentines 
Dans les vasques florentines 
Au fond du jardin rêveur ;

Larmes des nuits étoilées, 
Larmes [de]2 flûtes voilées 
Au bleu du parc endormi ;

Larmes aux [longs]3 cils perlées,
Larmes d'amante coulées 
Jusqu'a l'âme de l'ami ;

[Gouttes]4 d'extase, éplorement délicieux,
Tombez des nuits ! Tombez des fleurs ! Tombez [des]5 yeux !

Et toi, mon cœur, sois le doux fleuve harmonieux, 
Qui, riche du trésor tari des urnes vides, 
Roule un grand rêve triste aux mers des soirs languides.
