Language: French (Français)
Les arbres du jardin Se découpent dans l'air léger du soir, Comme s'ils étaient peints sur une fine soie. Le bel oiseau gris qui se balance Sur la branche d'un pêcher fleuri Se garde de troubler le silence d'un seul cri ; Tout dort... Et la lune qui se mire en l'eau du lac Est comme une mince barque au milieu d'un parc illuminé d'or.
