by Charles van Lerberghe (1861 - 1907)

Il luit dans l'ombre
Language: French (Français) 
« Il luit dans l'ombre, 
Le beau fruit d'or, 
Il luit comme un trésor 
Entre ces feuilles. 
C'est pour toi qu'il a mûri, 
Le beau fruit du paradis. 
Quelles roses lui sont pareilles !

Voilés de leurs ailes, 
Les anges sommeillent...

Voici que la nuit vient, 
Pas une étoile ne se lève. 
Oh ! rien 
Qu'un effleurement 
De tes lèvres... 
Qui peut savoir ? 
Le souffle du soir le touche bien.

Écoute ma chanson ; 
Elle murmure à ton oreille :
Approche et cueille. 
Les anges sommeillent...»
