lyrics

Ô mort, poussière d’étoiles,
Lève-toi sous mes pas!

Viens, ô douce vague qui brille
Dans les ténèbres;
Emporte-moi dans ton néant!

Viens, souffle sombre où je vacille,
Comme une flamme ivre de vent!

C’est en toi que je veux m’étendre,
M’éteindre et me dissoudre,
Mort, où mon âme aspire!

Viens, brise-moi comme une fleur d’écume.
Une fleur de soleil à la cime
Des eaux,

Et comme d’une amphore d’or
Un vin de flamme et d’arome divin,
Épanche mon âme
En ton abîme, pour qu’elle embaume
La terre sombre et le souffle des morts.
