by Henri Cazalis (1840 - 1909), as Jean Lahor
Nocturne
Language: French (Français)
J'étouffe et j'ai soif d'air illimité : Mon cœur à travers la nuit féminine, Oh ! là-haut, si loin, par l'immensité Se voudrait enfuir hors de ma poitrine ! J'étouffe et j'ai soif d'air illimité : Oh! si l'air aimant, si le vent qui passe, Ce lourd vent d'amour, ce vent chaud d'été, Pouvait emporter mon cœur dans l'espace !
Confirmed with Jean Lahor [pseud.], L'Illusion, A. Lemerre, Paris, 1906, p. 109.
