Rêves
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Un enfant court Autour des marbres... Une voix sourd Des hauts parages... Les yeux si graves De ceux qui t'aiment Songent et passent Entre les arbres... Aux grandes orgues De quelque gare Gronde la vague Des vieux départs... Dans un vieux rêve Au pays vague Des choses brèves Qui meurent sages...
