by Robert de Souza (1865 - 1946)

De plaines en plaines
Language: French (Français) 
De plaines en plaines lointaines, 
L'éther, l'éther est de velours ;
L'âme de baume des tilleuls
En un demi-sommeil y mène
Le flottement des heures sereines, 
Chaudes et assoupies d'amour.
L'éther, l'éther est de velours, 
L'âme est de baume des tilleuls ;
De plaines en plaines lointaines,
Des heures alanguies bercent la terre sereine.
