Sérénade japonaise
Language: French (Français) 
Mets ta robe d’azur,
Chausse tes pieds fragiles.
Près du bambou flexible
Une source frémit :
Les étoiles s’y mirent,
En des sursauts fébriles,
Comme des yeux de femme
Aux yeux de leur ami !

Viens, Taïmu, descends,
La rosée est divine,
Clair joyau sous la lune
A l’opalin baiser ;
Je voudrais l’accrocher
A ta blonde poitrine
Et la prendre à tes cils,
Pour aller m’en griser.

Mets ta robe d’azur…

La lune de cristal
Fait la nature bléme,
C’est l’heure du silence ému !
Le cœur s’écoute mieux !
Il semble que tout s’aime !
Aimons nous ! douce Taïmu !

Mets ta robe d’azur…
