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.
