Par la fenêtre grande ouverte
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Par la fenêtre grande ouverte Une odeur fariche de lilas Monte du jardin, et pénètre Jusqu'à moi. La nuit est calme et pacifique, Les peupliers ne tremblent pas Sous le clair de lune féerique Discret et las. Devant le ciel, je rêve au rêve Qui prit mon âme et l'embauma; Mais dont la douceur fut si brève, Hélas!
