by Louis Ducot , as Jacques Trève

Le monde est plus profond que ne dit le...
Language: French (Français) 
Le monde est plus profond que ne dit le soleil.
Ah ! tu nous éblouis, menteur !
Et tu nous voles les espaces peuplés de nos belles étoiles.
Il nous faut quand tu pars,  secouer nos sommeils...
Que descende le soir !... 
Que ta clarté s'éteigne !...
Révélatrice des secrets,
La nuit flamboie des mystères cachés  aux bornes de nos voies....
Dans l'ombre, la lumière enfin vivante, saigne...
Le monde est plus profond que ne dit le soleil.
