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!
