by Eugène Adénis-Colombeau (1854 - 1923)

Rêve d'un soir
Language: French (Français) 
Rêve d'un soir, rêve d'une heure,
Tu t'es enfui sur l'aile du désir,
Ta félicité n'est qu'un leurre,
Rêve d'un soir, rêve d'une heure
Que vainnement je cherche à ressaisir.

Ton enchantement nous effleure,
Tu disparais dans les feux du matin,
Notre voix t'appelle et te pleure
Rêve d'un soir, rêve d'une heure,
Ô doux mirage enivrant et lointain!

Puis-qu'ici-bas rien ne demeure,
Passe, éteins-toi comme un rayon d'été.
Mais comme un lys avant qu'il meure,
Rêve d'un soir, rêve d'une heure,
Ah! laisse-nous ton parfum enchanté!
