by Albert Victor Samain (1858 - 1900)

Apporte les cristaux dorés
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Apporte les cristaux dorés,
Et les verres couleur de songe;
Et que notre amour se prolonge
Dans les parfums exaspérés.

Des roses! Des roses encor!
Je les adore à la souffrance.
Elles ont la sombre attirance
Des choses qui donnent la mort.
 
L'été d'or croule dans les coupes;
Le jus des  pêches que tu coupes
Eclabousse ton sein neigeux.

Le parc est sombre comme un gouffre...
Et c'est dans mon coeur orageux
Comme un mal de douceur qui souffre.
