by Edmond Haraucourt (1856 - 1941)

La porte du songe est fermée
Language: French (Français) 
La porte du songe est fermée, 
Les paradis sont dévastés :
Celle qui fut la bien-aimée
Ne marche plus à mes côtés.

L'ange ne vient plus quand j'appelle : 
La madone a tué la foi, 
Et j'ai besoin d'être auprès d'elle 
Pour la sentir auprès de moi. 

L'amante a tué la déesse 
Qui rayonnait sur un ciel d'or, 
Et j'ai besoin de sa caresse
Pour savoir que je l'aime encor.
