La Prière d'un païen
Language:
French
Ah! ne ralentis pas tes flammes;
Réchauffe mon coeur engourdit,
Volupté, torture des âmes!
Diva! supplicem exaudi!
Déesse dans l'air répandue,
Flamme dans notre souterrain!
Exauce une âme morfondue,
Qui te consacre un chant d'airain.
Volupté, sois toujours ma reine!
Prends le masque d'une sirène
Faite de chair et de velours,
Ou verse-moi tes sommeils lourds
Dans le vin informe et mystique,
Volupté, fantôme élastique!
