by Amélie Platzer

Dernier Rayon
Language: French (Français) 
Automne ! Temps de paix, de calme rêverie
D'un soleil radieux, immense gerbe d'or !
Laisse un dernier rayon, au déclin de ma vie 
Illuminer de joie ce que je rêve encor
Guidé par ta clarté, mon cœur ira revivre, 
Dans un lointain passé ses lointaines amours 
Π reverra par toi, ce qui ravit, énivre, 
Céleste rayon d'or brille en cor et toujours
Tu seras le dernier mais aussi le plus tendre 
De tous ceux dont mon âme a senti la douceur 
Comme dans une extase j'écoute et crois entendre 
La mystérieuse voix d'un passé de bonheur

0 mon dernier rayon sur ma belle vieillesse 
Laisse longtemps briller ta pure et vive flamme
Et je m'endormirai un soir sous ta caresse
Bénissant ton éclat :
Divin rayon de l'âme.
