Les Étoiles
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Au fond des paradis lunaires, Suspendus dans l'azur changeant, Sont de magiques luminaires : Les étoiles aux yeux d'argent. Depuis toujours qu'elles demeurent Et veillent immuablement, Pour Elles, les poëtes meurent A regarder le firmament. Et qui sait si leurs blanches flammes Fascinant nos yeux éblouis Ne sont pas faites de nos âmes Et de nos rêves infinis ?
