by Armand Renaud (1836 - 1895)

Ivresse lumineuse
Language: French (Français) 
Encor du vin ! encor des chants de lyre !
  Encor des flambeaux ! 
Encor du ciel où tournent en délire
  Des astres plus beaux ! 

Du vin ! du vin ! fait de flammes sanglantes, 
  De rubis ardents, 
Rongeant mon cœur aux fibres pantelantes,
  Comme avec des dents. 

Du vin ! du vin ! l'ivresse immesurée, 
  L'ivresse à saisir 
Tout ce qui flotte, à travers l'empyrée,
  D'âme et de désir ! 

Encor du vin ! Chassons dans la poussière 
  La réalité. 
Encor ! encor ! Buvons de la lumière 
  Et de la beauté !

Confirmed with Les nuits persanes par Armand Renaud, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1870, page 160.
