by Henri Francois-Joseph de Régnier (1864 - 1936)

Dors lentement avec des rêves
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dors lentement avec des rêves
Légers de l’air pur respiré
Le long des rives fraternelles
Où nos pas doubles ont erré.

Dors doucement avec des songes
Parfumés des fleurs du chemin
Qui ce soir encore dans l’ombre
Sont odorantes de tes mains.

Dors seule en rêve avec toi-même.
Sois ton propre songe ; il n’est pas
D’autre couronne pour ta tête
Que le cercle nu de tes bras.
