by Paul Verlaine (1844 - 1896)
Soleils couchants See original
Language: French (Français)
Une aube affaiblie
Verse par les champs
La mélancolie
Des soleils couchants.
La mélancolie
Berce de doux chants
Mon cœur qui s'oublie
Aux soleils couchants.
Et d'étranges rêves,
...
Défilent, pareils
À des grands soleils
Couchants sur les grèves.
