Roses ardentes
Dans l'immobile nuit,
C'est en vous que je chante
Et que je suis.
En vous, étincelles
A la cime des bois,
Que je suis éternelle
Et que je vois.
Ô mer profonde,
C'est en toi que mon sang
Renaît vague blonde,
En flot dansant.

Comme elle chante
Dans ma voix
L'âme longtemps murmurante
Des fontaines et des bois!
Air limpide du paradis,
Avec tes grappes de rubis,
Avec tes gerbes du lumière,
Avec tes roses et tes fruits,
Quelle merveille en nous à cette heure!
Des paroles depuis des âges endormies,
En des sons, en des fleurs
Sur mes lèvres enfin prennent vie.
