by Paul Verlaine (1844 - 1896)
Le foyer, la lueur étroite de la lampe
Language: French (Français)
Le foyer, la lueur étroite de la lampe; La rêverie avec le doigt contre la tempe Et les yeux se perdant parmi les yeux aimés ; L'heure du thé fumant et des livres fermés ; La douceur de sentir la fin de la soirée ; La fatigue charmante et l'attente adorée De l'ombre nuptiale et de la douce nuit, Oh ! tout cela, mon rêve attendri le poursuit Sans relâche, à travers toutes remises vaines, Impatient [des]1 mois, furieux des semaines !
