Dans la forêt que crée un rêve, Je vais le soir dans la forêt : Ta frêle image m'apparaît Et chemine avec moi sans trêve. N'est-ce pas là ton voile fin, Brouillard léger dans la nuit brune ? Ou n'est-ce que le clair de lune A travers l'ombre du sapin ? Et ces larmes, sont-ce les miennes Que j'entends couler doucement ? Ou se peut-il réellement Qu'à mes côtés, en pleurs, tu viennes ?
