Ma pensée est sereine et rêve parfumée, Comme la chambre heureuse où dort la bien-aimée. Large fleur au cœur blanc qui parfume la nuit, La lune sur l'étang du ciel s'épanouit. Ma pensée est sereine et rêve caressée D'une odeur de santal que tes bras m'ont laissée.
Confirmed with Jean Lahor, L'Illusion, Paris, A. Lemerre, 1906, page 90.
