Voici des roses
Language: French (Français)
Voici des roses de cette nuit écloses. Sur ce lit embaumé, ô mon Faust bien-aimé, repose! Dans un voluptueux sommeil où glissera sur toi plus d'un baiser vermeil, où des fleurs pour ta couche ouvriront leurs corolles, ton oreille entendra de divines paroles. Écoute, écoute! Les esprits de la terre et de l'air commencent pour ton rêve un suave concert.
