Larmes aux fleurs suspendues See original
Language: French (Français)
Larmes aux fleurs suspendues, Larmes de sources perdues Aux mousses des rochers creux ; Larmes d'automne épandues, Larmes de cors entendues Dans les grands bois douloureux ; Larmes des cloches latines, Carmélites, Feuillantines... Voix des beffrois en ferveur ; ... Larmes des nuits étoilées, Larmes de flûtes voilées Au bleu du parc endormi ; Larmes aux longs cils perlées, Larmes d'amante coulées Jusqu'a l'âme de l'ami ; Larmes d'extase, éplorement délicieux, Tombez des nuits ! Tombez des fleurs ! Tombez des yeux ! ...
