by Charles Fuster (1866 - 1929)

Les ailes du rêve
Language: French (Français) 
Je m’en vais errer sous les branches
En suivant les petits chemins.
– Les ailes du rêve sont blanches,
Mon doux amour, comme tes mains.
 
J’irais ainsi pendant des lieues,
Rêvant à l’azur de tes yeux.
– Les ailes du rêve sont bleues
Comme tes yeux frais et joyeux.
 
Un baiser passe sur les choses,
Dans l’air voluptueux des bois.
– Les ailes du rêve sont roses
Comme tes lèvres où je bois.
 
Mais le vent froid souffle à nos portes.
Voici venir les temps mauvais !
– Les ailes du rêve sont mortes
Comme l’amour que je rêvais.
