À Colombine
Language: French (Français)
Les fleurs pâles du clair de Lune, Comme des roses de clarté, Fleurissent dans les nuits d'été: Si je pouvais en cueillir une! Pour soulager mon infortune, Je cherche, le long du Léthé, Les fleurs pâles du clair de Lune Comme des roses de clarté. Et j'apaiserai ma rancune, Si j'obtiens du ciel irrité La chimérique volupté D'effeuiller sur ta toison brune Les fleurs pâles du clair de Lune!

Des Mondlichts bleiche Blüten, Die weißen Wunderrosen, Blühn in den Julinachten - O brach ich eine nur! Mein banges Leid zu lindern, Such ich am dunklen Strome Des Mondlichts bleiche Blüten, Die weißen Wunderrosen. Gestillt wär all mein Sehnen, Dürft ich so märchenheimlich, So selig leis - entblättern Auf deine brauenen Haare Des Mondlichts bleiche Blüten!
