Avec la nuit montante
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Avec la nuit montante et le lever des brumes, L'âme en deuil de la verte mer qui resplendit Se dresse fabuleuse en blancs crêpes d'écumes, Avec la nuit montante et le lever des brumes. Les mouettes trempent dans l'eau nocturne leurs plumes, Et voici triompher sur le soir agrandi, Avec la nuit montante et le lever des brumes, L'âme en deuil de la verte mer qui resplendit.
