by Edmond Haraucourt (1856 - 1941)

Je t'aime chastement par‑dessus nos...
Language: French (Français) 
Je t'aime chastement par-dessus nos luxures : 
Plus encor que l'amante, enfant, c'est toi la sœur
Dont la grâce mystique échappe aux flétrissures. 

Sur l'aile des parfums sacrés, dans l'épaisseur 
Des ténèbres d'amour où nous nous épousâmes, 
Je vois planer vers Dieu ta peine et ta douceur, 

Et j'entends les baisers que se donnent nos âmes.
