Aubade
Language: French (Français)
Je suis la nuit, oh ! sois le jour ; Lumière que mon ombre adore, Unissons-nous, et notre amour Resplendira comme une aurore. Mon âme brûle et se mourra : Je suis le désert, sois l'eau pure, Et notre amour nous couvrira, Comme une oasis de verdure.
Confirmed with Œuvres de Jean Lahor. L'illusion, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1906, page 11.
