by Charles van Lerberghe (1861 - 1907)

Un peu de jour, un peu d'amour
Language: French (Français) 
Un peu de jour, un peu d'amour, 
Un peu de soleil, comme en rêve, 
Et son front et ces lys autour, 
C'était chose fragile et brève. 

Mais c'était si doux à souffrir 
Parmi ces eaux, ces fleurs, ces palmes,
Qu'elle n'en pouvait pas mourir ;
Alors elle a clos ses yeux calmes. 

Elle s'est endormie au fond 
De mon cœur, sur ses mains tranquilles, 
Et lys et roses même sont 
Dans des silences immobiles.
