La Nuit d'automne
Language: French (Français)  after the Japanese (日本語)
La nuit d'automne est longue pour qui ne contemple pas la belle lune ronde Très tard, j'attends... il ne vient pas !... Ne me parviennent que les sons de cloche !.... Chaque coup de cloche, je le compte sur mes doigts que j'abaisse, et lève, j'attends... éclairée par la lune...
