by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Sous les orangers
Language: French (Français) 
Sous les orangers
Chargés
De neige parfumée
Sous le ciel en feu 
Si bleu
Devant la mer calmée,
Ecoute mon cœur
Vainqueur
Palpiter comme une aile...
Entends les sanglots
Des flots
Dont le désir t'appelle !
Ô Belle ! Ô Belle !
Ô la plus belle !

Sous les orangers
Chargés
De tendres fleurs heureuses,
Laisse mon baiser
Griser tes lèvres langoureuses,
Accorde à mon vœu
L'aveu
D'un abandon suprême...
Donne ta blancheur
En fleur
Et la vie elle-même !
Je t'aime ! Je t'aime !
Mon âme t'aime !
