by Jean Reboul (1796 - 1864)

Tout n'est qu'images fugitives
 (Sung text for setting by E. Tinel)
 See base text
Language: French (Français) 
Tout n'est qu'images fugitives;
coupe d'amertume ou de miel,
chansons joyeuses ou plaintives
abusent des lèvres fictives;
il n'est rien de vrai, que le ciel!
Tout soleil nait, s'élève et tombe;
tout trône est artificiel,
la plus haute gloire succombe,
tout s'épanouit pour la tombe,
et rien n'est brillant que le ciel!
 ...

    Set to music by Edgar Pierre Joseph Tinel (1854 - 1912), "Tout n'est qu'images fugitives", op. 40 (Six Mélodies pour chant et piano = Zes Melodiën voor Zang & Piano) no. 4, published 1892, lines 1-10 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig, Breitkopf & Härtel
