En vain l'Aurore
Language: French (Français)
En vain l'Aurore, Qui se colore, Annonce un jour Fait pour l'Amour ; De la pensée Tout oppressée, Pour te revoir, J'attends le soir. L'Aurore, en fuite, Laisse à sa suite, Un soleil pur, Un ciel d'azur : L'Amour s'éveille ; Pour lui je veille ; Et, pour te voir, J'attends le soir. Heure charmante, Soyez moins lente ! Avancez-vous, Moment si doux ! Une journée Est une année, Quand, pour te voir, J'attends le soir. Un voile sombre Ramène l'ombre ; Un doux repos Suit les travaux : Mon sein palpite, Mon cœur me quitte... Je vais te voir ; Voilà le soir.
