by Paul Jean Toulet (1867 - 1920)

Nocturne
Language: French (Français) 
Ô mer, toi que je sens frémir
  À travers la nuit creuse,
Comme le sein d'une amoureuse
  Qui ne peut pas dormir ;

Le vent lourd frappe la falaise...
  Quoi ! si le chant moqueur
D'une sirène est dans mon cœur -
  Ô cœur, divin malaise.

Quoi, plus de larmes, ni d'avoir
  Personne qui vous plaigne...
Tout bas, comme d'un flanc qui saigne,
  Il s'est mis à pleuvoir.
