Diane

Oratorio by Benjamin Louis Paul Godard (1849 - 1895)

6. Air  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
O cieux, un voile obscur s'étend sur ma paupière
Mon esprit fuit épouvanté
Je n'ai pu supporter l'éclat de sa lumière
Ni les splendeurs de sa beauté
Ma peine est juste et bien faisante.
Qu'aurais-je hélas ! Pu devenir ?
Ma vie eût été languissante.
Sous cet éternel souvenier ...
Il ne peut acheter et se trouve métamorphosé en cerf.
