by (Jean René Benoît) Paul Mariéton (1862 - 1911)

Montez au ciel, ô mes pensées
Language: French (Français) 
Montez au ciel, ô mes pensées, 
Dans cette claire nuit d'amour ! 
Je vous ai longtemps caressées ;
Dieu vous reçoive sans retour ! 

Pour vos extases virginales 
Ce monde n'est point assez pur ;
Gagnez les blancheurs sidérales,
Au fond de l'immuable azur !

Fuyez les hommes et leurs causes, 
Ô vous qu'ils ne comprennent pas !
De mon dédain de toutes choses,
Laissez-moi souffrir ici-bas.

Et désormais, dans la nuit claire, 
Levant les yeux obstinément, 
J'essaierai d'oublier la terre
À vous chercher au firmament.
