by Eugène Adénis-Colombeau (1854 - 1923)

Chère nuit
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Voici l'heure bientôt. Derrière la colline
    je vois le soleil qui décline
    et cache ses rayons jaloux ...
J'entends chanter l'âme des choses
    et les narcisses et les roses
m'apportent des parfums plus doux !
    Chére nuit aux clartés sereines
    toi que ramènes le tendre amant
    ah ! descends et voile la terre
de ton mystère calme et charmant.
    Mon bonheur renaît sous ton aile
Ô nuit plus belle que les beaux jours :
    Ah ! lève-toi pour faire encore
    briller l'aurore de mes amours ?
