French.png French text

Je veux que le matin l’ignore
Le nom que j’ai dit à la nuit,
Et qu’au vent de l’aube, sans bruit,
Comme un larme il s’évapore.

Je veux que le jour le proclame
L’amour qu’au matin j’ai caché,
Et sur mon cœur ouvert penché
Comme un grain d’encens il l’enflamme.

Je veux que le couchant l’oublie
Le secret que j’ai dit au jour,
Et l’emporte avec mon amour,
Aux plis de sa robe pâlie!
