Les Palmiers
Language: French (Français)
Heureux les palmiers ! leurs amours Vont, sur les ailes de la brise, De l'amant ignoré toujours A l'amante toujours surprise. Rien de réel ne vient briser L'idéal essor de leurs fièvres. Ils ont l'ivresse du baiser Sans avoir à subir les lèvres.
Confirmed with Les nuits persanes par Armand Renaud, Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1870, page 69.
