Language: French (Français) 
Voici encor de l'heure qui s'argente,
mêlé au doux soir, le pur métal
et qui ajoute à la beauté lente
les lents retours d'un calme musical.

L'ancienne terre se reprend et change:
un astre pur survit à nos travaux.
Les bruits épars, quittant le jour, se rangent
et rentrent tous dans la voix des eaux.
