by Albert Victor Samain (1858 - 1900)

Le Séraphin des soirs passe le long des...
Language: French (Français) 
Le Séraphin des soirs passe le long des fleurs...
La Dame-aux-Songes chante à l'orgue de l'église ;
Et le ciel, où la fin du jour se subtilise,
Prolonge une agonie exquise de couleurs.

Le Séraphin des soirs passe le long des cœurs...
Les vierges au balcon boivent l'amour des brises ;
Et sur les fleurs et sur les vierges indécises
Il neige lentement d'adorables pâleurs.

Toute rose au jardin s'incline, lente et lasse,
Et l'âme de Schumann errante par l'espace
Semble dire une peine impossible à guérir...

Quelque part une enfant très douce doit mourir...
O mon âme, mets un signet au livre d'heures,
L'Ange va recueillir le rêve que tu pleures.
