by Henri Gambier (b. 1881)
Trois soirs
Language: French (Français)
Sous le ciel clair
vont les gondoles ;
des barcarolles
caressent l'air.
Venise chante au clair de lune.
Le ciel est beau,
la brise lente,
la mer dolente,
berçante l'eau.
Venise rêve au clair de lune.
Le ciel est gris ;
la nuit profonde
embrasse l'onde :
glissons sans bruit...
Venise dort... sans clair de lune.
