by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
À Colombine
Language: French (Français)
Les fleurs pâles du clair de Lune, Comme des roses de clarté, Fleurissent dans les nuits d'été: Si je pouvais en cueillir une! Pour soulager mon infortune, Je cherche, le long du Léthé, Les fleurs pâles du clair de Lune Comme des roses de clarté. Et j'apaiserai ma rancune, Si j'obtiens du ciel irrité La chimérique volupté D'effeuiller sur ta toison brune Les fleurs pâles du clair de Lune!
