by René-François Sully-Prudhomme (1839 - 1907)

Je rêve, et la pâle rosée
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Je rêve, et la pâle rosée
Dans les plaines perle sans bruit,
Sur le duvet des fleurs posée
Par la main fraîche de la nuit.

D'où viennent ces tremblantes gouttes ?
Il ne pleut pas, le temps est clair ;
C'est qu'avant de se former, toutes,
Elles étaient déjà dans l'air.

D'où viennent mes pleurs ? Toute flamme,
Ce soir, est douce au fond des cieux ;
C'est que je les avais dans l'âme
Avant de les sentir aux yeux.

On a dans l'âme une tendresse
Où tremblent toutes les douleurs,
Et c'est parfois une caresse
Qui trouble, et fait germer les pleurs.
