Diana, Selena
Gabriel Fauré
Diana, Selena, moon of lovely metal,
You reflect to us upon your desert face,
In the eternal boredom of the stars' quietude,
The regret of a sun whose loss we mourn.
O moon, I covet your clarity,
Insult to the vain turmoil of poor souls,
And my heart, ever weary and ever restless,
Aspires toward the peace of your nocturnal flame.
