by André Lebey (1877 - 1938)
Soir païen
Language: French (Français)
La lune glisse sous les bois Sa paleur douce et opalune Ecoutes tu toutes les voix Monter du fond de toutes les ravines? Soit silencieuse! Ecoute Ecoute, Une flûte prélude au fond du bois Je rêve de formes sur la route Qui font revivre l'autrefois. Oublirons-nous que l'huere est brêve Et que l'aurore reviendra Les fleurs de nuit versent un rêve Mais le soleil les refermera.
