by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Ce soir mon cœur fait chanter
Language: French (Français)
Ce soir mon cœur fait chanter des anges qui se souviennent... Une voix, presque mienne, par trop de silence tentée, monte et se décide à ne plus revenir ; tendre et intrépide, à quoi va-t-elle s'unir ?
E. Janson sets stanza 1
