Fleur du pêcher
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Chosen for Diff
Fleur du pêcher frémissait Comme une aile rose du papillon crée la brise. Souriante l'eau qui reflête l'arbre fin. Quand finiront mes peines ? Le souffle d'Orient porte jusqu'à moi une odeur douce des péches en fleurs. Epuissé je les sens. Et levers maladif sort de mes lèvres. Ô vienne la nuit et ouvre tes bras aimables à ma peine. Le sommeil désiré.
