by Jean Bellon (1867 - 1914), as Jean Bénédict

D'avoir tenu vos chères mains
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
D'avoir tenu vos chères mains
Longuement dans les miennes,
Je réspire encor ce matin
Un pénétrant parfum
De verveine

D'avoir tenu longtemps mes yeux
Sous le charme des vôtres,
Je garde en moi de lumineux
Reflets, d'un vert gris bleu,
Presque mauve.

Tous les parfums et tous les cieux
S'échappent de vos mains
Ou resplenissent dans vos yeux:
Approche, je les veux
Moins lointains;

Oh! viens plus près,
pour que demain,
En un rêve amoureux,
Je trouve encor sur mon chemin
Avec tous les parfums
Tous les cieux!
