Deux Poèmes de R.M. Rilke

by Denise Isabelle Roger (1924 - 2005)

1. Puisque tout passe  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Puisque tout passe, faisons
la mélodie passagère ;
celle qui nous désaltère,
aura de nous raison.

Chantons ce qui nous quitte
avec amour et art ;
soyons plus vite
que le rapide départ.

2. Après une journée de vent  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Après une journée de vent, 
dans une paix infinie, 
le soir se réconcilie 
comme un docile amantn 

Tout devient calme, clarté... 
Mais à l'horizon s'étage, 
éclairé et doré, 
un beau bas-relief de nuages.
