by Albert Victor Samain (1858 - 1900)

Les grands Jasmins épanouis
Language: French (Français) 
Les grands Jasmins épanouis 
Vibrent dans les chaudes ténèbres... 
Seuls, les Parfums régnent, funèbres, 
Sur les jardins évanouis. 

La phalène en silence vers 
La flamme d'or se précipite. 
Dans l'obscurité qui palpite 
Tes yeux verts rêvent, grands ouverts. 

Tes yeux verts, ô ma Bien-Aimée, 
Rêvent dans l'ombre parfumée 
D'affreux supplices pour les coeurs; 

Et ton nez irrité respire 
Dans l'ctoufïement des odeurs 
Des fêtes sanglantes d'empire!
