Roses ardentes Matches original text
Language: French (Français)
Roses ardentes Dans l'immobile nuit, C'est en vous que je chante Et que je suis. En vous, étincelles, À 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. Et c'est en toi, force suprême, Soleil radieux, Que mon âme elle-même Atteint son dieu !
