by Charles van Lerberghe (1861 - 1907)

C'est en toi, bien‑aimé
Language: French (Français) 
C’est en toi, bien-aimé, que j’écoute,
Et que mon âme voit.
Accueille mon silence et montre-moi la route,
Mes yeux fermés au monde se sont ouverts en toi.

C’est en toi que je ris, c’est en toi que je rêve,
Que je pleure tout bas.
En toi que mon sein se soulève,
En toi que mon cœur bat.

Ô toi, dont s’ensoleille
D’un tremblement d’ailes d’or
Mon souffle animé,
C’est en toi que je m’éveille,
Et c’est en toi que je m’endors,
Ô bien-aimé !

Confirmed with Charles Van Lerberghe, La Chanson d’Ève, Paris, Société du Mercure de France, 1904 (2e éd.), page 79.
