Que tes yeux clairs, tes yeux d'été

Emile Verhaeren 1855 (Sint-Amands) – 1916 (Rouen)

Que tes yeux clairs, tes yeux d'été,
Me soient, sur terre,
Les images de la bonté.

Laissons nos âmes embrasées
Revêtir d'or chaque flamme de nos pensées.

Que mes deux mains contre ton coeur
Te soient, sur terre,
Les emblèmes de la douceur.

Vivons pareils à deux prières éperdues
L'une vers l'autre, à toute heure, tendues.

Que nos baisers sur nos bouches ravies
Nous soient sur terre
Les symboles de notre vie.
