Ah! fuyez à présent
Language: French (Français)
Ah! fuyez à présent, Malheureuses pensées! O! colère, o! remords! Souvenirs qui m'avez Les deux tempes pressées, De l'étreinte des morts. Sentiers de mousse pleins, Vaporeuses fontaines, Grottes profondes, voix Des oiseaux et du vent Lumières incertaines Des sauvages sous-bois, Insectes animaux, Beauté future, Ne me repousse pas, Ô divine nature Je suis ton suppliant. Ah! fuyez à présent, Malheureuses pensées! O! colère, o! remords!
