by Achille Millien (1838 - 1927)

Dormeuse
Language: French (Français) 
Il est nuit : ta fenêtre est close ;
Dans l'ombre tu vas sommeiller.
Tes yeux sont prêts à se voiler ;
Ton front charmant sur l'oreiller
Se pose ...
Autour d'elle volez sans bruit,
Volez, volez, beaux songes de la nuit !

Ton nom murmure sur ma bouche ;
Aveu d'un cœur qui t'aime tant.
La lune éclaire en l'écoutant
D'un rayon pâle et tremblotant
Ta couche ...
Autour d'elle volez sans bruit,
Volez, volez, beaux songes de la nuit !

Rêve un peu de l'ami qui veille
Dans ton asile virginal.
Par son ramage original
Qu'un gai rossignol matinal
T'éveille !
Autour d'elle volez sans bruit,
Volez, volez, beaux songes de la nuit !
