by Gaston Hirsch (1830 - 1919)

Au delà du rêve
Language: French (Français) 
  (avec élan)

Où n'atteindrai-je pas ?
La cime
Qui, perçant le voile d'azur,
Se dresse d'un élan sublime,
Je la franchirai d'un pas sûr.
Trop d'ombre enveloppe la terre...
Allons où Dieu se révéla,
A la voûte bleue, au Mystère,
Au delà du Rêve, au delà !
Salut,

  (avec transport)

Soleil de qui la course
Embrase, anime l'univers !
Découvre à mes regards la source
Du Bien, du Mal, des flots pervers
Où, craintive
Et plaintive,
S'engloutira l'Humanité...
Ainsi pleurait mon âme avide
De divine félicité;
Mes cris se perdaient dans le vide,
Quand une voix me dit:
« Un jour
S'évanouira ta chimère:
Le bonheur ?...
Il est sur la terre;
Il tient dans un seul mot:

  (tendre et simple)

Amour. »
Amour.
