by Henri Cazalis (1840 - 1909), as Jean Lahor

Le retour
Language: French (Français) 
Ma pauvre [bien-aimée et l'adorable fleur
De son corps]1, ô sommeil, tu me l'as donc rendue :
Dieu bon, qui sais calmer la plus âpre douleur,
Tu m'as donc fait revoir ma maîtresse perdue !

Le jour venu, mon rêve, hélas ! s'est envolé ;
Ainsi que des geôliers, les chagrins de la veille
Ont ressaisi mon cœur, mon cœur inconsolé ;
Et j'attends de nouveau l'heure où l'âme sommeille.
