by Catulle Mendès (1841 - 1909)
Language: French (Français)
Lune froide et sans auréole, Avec des langueurs de créole Vous rêvez douloureusement Dans l'infini du ciel dormant, Tandis que, des claires fontaines, Comme un son de flûtes lointaine S'exhale vers les cieux blafards La tristesse des nénuphars !
