by Jean Richepin (1849 - 1926)
Les îles roses
Language: French (Français)
Sur la mer aux flots toujours féeriques Partez en bateau, même en radeau. On y trouve encor des Amériques, On y trouve encor l’Eldorado. Moi je vous ai vus, vierges rivages Aux parfums calmants, aux bois épais, Où chantent des chœurs d’oiseaux sauvages, Où rêve l’oubli qu’endort la paix. Vous tous qu’empoisonnent les névroses. N’importe comment, partez, partez, Et vous renaîtrez aux îles roses Qu’arrosent toujours les vieux Léthés.
