Original text and translations
French text
- La lune blanche
- luit dans les bois.
- De chaque branche
- part une voix
- sous la ramée.
- O 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!
- Lyrics: Paul Verlaine (1844-1896).
