Reflets

Sous l'eau du songe qui s'élève 
Mon âme a peur, mon âme a peur. 
Et la lune luit dans mon coeur
Plongé dans les sources du rêve!

Sous l'ennui morne des roseaux.
Seul [les reflets profonds]1 des choses,
Des lys, des palmes et des roses
Pleurent encore au fond des eaux.

Les fleurs s'effeuillent une à une
Sur le reflet du firmament.
Pour descendre, éternellement
[Dans]2 l'eau du songe et dans la lune.

by Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949)
