Automne au ciel brumeux, aux horizons...
Language: French (Français)
Automne au ciel brumeux, aux horizons navrants, Aux rapides couchants, aux aurores pâlies, Je regarde couler, comme l'eau des torrents, Tes jours faits de mélancolies. Sur l'aile du regret mes esprits emportés, -- Comme s'il se pouvait que notre âge renaisse ! -- Parcourent, en rêvant, les coteaux enchantés Où jadis sourit ma jeunesse. Je sens, au clair soleil du souvenir vainqueur, Refleurir en bouquet les roses deliées Et monter à mes yeux des larmes, qu'en mon cœur, Mes vingt ans avaient oubliées !
