Poussière rose
Language: French (Français)
Une fine poussière rose Danse à l’horizon du matin. Un très doux orchestre lointain Susurre un air de Cimarose. Phœbé, comme une blanche rose, Se meurt dans le ciel incertain. Une fine poussière rose Danse à l’horizon du matin. Devant un Cassandre morose, Fuit un falbala de satin Qui traverse — en frôlant le thym Qu’une fraîche rosée arrose — Une fine poussière rose.
Confirmed with Albert Giraud, Héros et Pierrots, Paris, Librairie Fischbacher (Collection des poètes français de l’étranger), 1898, pages 157-158.
