Voici des roses

Voici des roses
de cette nuit écloses.
Sur ce lit embaumé,
ô mon Faust bien-aimé, repose!
Dans un voluptueux sommeil
où glissera sur toi
plus d'un baiser vermeil,
où des fleurs pour ta couche
ouvriront leurs corolles,
ton oreille entendra de divines paroles.
Écoute, écoute!
Les esprits de la terre et de l'air
commencent pour ton rêve un suave concert.

by Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)
