by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Pareil à la mer profonde
Language: French (Français) 
Mon cœur est pareil à la mer profonde
Où luit un palais qu'on n'a jamais trouvé ;
Sur l'or merveilleux se referme l'onde...
Mon cœur se ferma sur son amour rêvé.
Les anges du jour, les monstres de l'ombre,
Assiègent en vain le bleu rempart des flots ;
Mon cœur très joyeux, ou mon cœur très sombre,
n'a rien révélé : ni rire ni sanglots.
Mais toi, tu verras, ô ma chère idole !
Régner dans mon cœur le charme de tes yeux.
Alors je chanterai ton nom, et ma parole
Des gloires de l'Amour incendiera les cieux !
