Larmes aux fleurs suspendues
Language: French (Français)
Larmes aux fleurs suspendues, Larmes de sources perdues Aux mousses des rochers creux ; Larmes d'automne épandues, Larmes de [cors]1 entendues Dans les grands bois douloureux ; Larmes des cloches latines, Carmélites, Feuillantines... Voix des beffrois en ferveur ; Larmes, chansons argentines Dans les vasques florentines Au fond du jardin rêveur ; Larmes des nuits étoilées, Larmes [de]2 flûtes voilées Au bleu du parc endormi ; Larmes aux [longs]3 cils perlées, Larmes d'amante coulées Jusqu'a l'âme de l'ami ; [Gouttes]4 d'extase, éplorement délicieux, Tombez des nuits ! Tombez des fleurs ! Tombez [des]5 yeux ! Et toi, mon cœur, sois le doux fleuve harmonieux, Qui, riche du trésor tari des urnes vides, Roule un grand rêve triste aux mers des soirs languides.
