by Henry Gauthier-Villars (1859 - 1931)

Rêverie
Language: French (Français) 
Comme de rêve et de langueur
Tes yeux effleurent mes pensées,
O chères minutes passées
Le front posé contre ton cœur.
Ta voix musicale et dolente
En pénombre et presque d’oubli
Ta voix au murmure affaibli 
A bercé mon extase lente.

Rose qu’effeuille l’abandon
Ta bouche ingénument peureuse
A su baptiser de pardon
Ma solitude douloureuse.

D’un rêve imprécis de langueur
Tes yeux effleurent ma pensée.
Parle bas, âme fiancée,
Ne réveille pas mon bonheur.
