Nocturne

Ma pensée est sereine et rêve parfumée
Comme la chamber heureuse où dort la bien-aimée.
Large fleur au Coeur blanc qui parfume la nuit,
La lune sur l'étang du ciel s'épanouit
Ma pensée est sereine et rêve caressée
D'une odeur de santal que tes bras m'ont laissée.

by Henri Cazalis (1840-1909) , under the pseudonym Jean Lahor
