Quatre mélodies

Song Cycle by Félipe Comas

1. Dans un baiser, l'onde au rivage  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Dans un baiser, l'onde au rivage
 Dit ses douleurs:
Pour consoler la fleur sauvage,
 L'aube a des pleurs;
Le vent du soir conte sa plainte
 Aux vieux cyprès,
La tourterelle au térébinthe
 Ses longs regrets.

Aux flots dormants, quand tout repose,
 Hors la douleur,
La lune parle, et dit la cause
 De sa pâleur. 
Ton dôme blanc, Sainte-Sophie,
 Parle au ciel bleu,
Et, tout rêveur, le ciel confie
 Son rêve à Dieu.

Arbre ou tombeau, colombe ou rose,
 Onde ou rocher,
Tout, ici-bas, a quelque chose
 Pour s'épancher... 
Moi, je suis seul, et rien au monde
 Ne me répond,
Rien que ta voix morne et profonde,
 Sombre Hellespont!
