by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)
Prière de trois heures
Language: French (Français)
J’épiais ce sourire et ce regard étonné que tu as quand tu émerges du sommeil, ô ma secrète bien-aimée ! Comme j’ai attendu ! Le vent disperse la brume de chaleur qui noyait le ciel et le désert... C’est l’heure où les caravanes repartent. Ton corps a la courbe d’une oasis.
