Lyrics

La lune blanche

Luit dans les bois;

De chaque branche

Part une voix

Sous la ramée …

Ô bien-aimée.

L’étang reflète,

Profond miroir,

La silhouette

Du saule noir

Où le vent pleure…

Rêvons, c’est l’heure.

Un vaste et tendre

Apaisement

Semble descendre

Du firmament

Que l’astre irise …

C’est l’heure exquise.

Written by: Paul Verlaine, Reynaldo Hahn
