Pagan evening
Georges Adolphe Hüe
The moon shines over the woods
Her paleness sweet and opaline...
Are you listening to all the voices
Rise from the bottom of the ravines?
Be quiet! Listen!
A flute plays a flourish from the depth of the wood...
I dream of figures on the road,
Who will come alive again.
We forget that time flies
And that dawn will come again.
The night flowers spill open with a dream,
But the sun will re-seal them.
