by Eugène Adénis-Colombeau (1854 - 1923)
Chère nuit
Language: French (Français)
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 ?
