After the summer rain

Song Cycle by Hideko Kawamoto (b. 1969)

Nos Pleurs

Language: French (Français) 
Les Anges aiment nos pleurs,
de cette rosée avides;
parfois nous sommes des leurs
de par nos joues humides.

En partant ils sèchent d'un coup
d'aile notre figure,
sans jamais la voir si pure,
déjà loin de nous....
