by Charles van Lerberghe (1861 - 1907)

Elle défit le nœud de sa ceinture, et...
Language: French (Français) 
    Osculetur me osculo oris sui.

Elle défit le nœud de sa ceinture, et nue, 
Toute tremblante ouvrit ses bras à sa venue. 

Ses mains touchaient les airs, le silence et la nuit. 
Et le soleil parut dans ses yeux éblouis. 

Et son divin baiser, frémissant et farouche. 
Était comme une fleur qu'on cueille avec la bouche.
