Astres, musiciens célestes, votre chant, Fait de vibrations qui semblent du silence, S'unit à ma pensée, en rêves s'épanchant Sur ces flots, où la lune émerge et se balance.

Fraternise, ô mon âme, avec les astres d'or, Âmes aussi, brûlant par la nuit infinie, Brûle comme eux, palpite, aime et souffre, aime encor ; Avec l'aube et les soirs sublimes communie.
