De mon amie
Language: French (Français)
De mon amie, Fleur endormie, Au fond du lac Silencieux, J'ai vu dans l'onde Claire et profonde Étinceler Le front joyeux Et les doux yeux! Ma bien aimée Est enfermée, Dans un palais Dd'or et d'azur! Je l'entends rire Et je vois luire, Sur le cristal Du gouffre obscur. Son regard pur!
