So Elegant

la lumière dans tes yeux respire la beauté

so elegant the cygnet glides
a glass top glint speaking out
a call to day, here shadows lay
in the depths of a morning glow

and as rich pine treetops sway
the thrill of a nightingale shrills

beauty still rests before my eye
absorbed, my passions beat
attracted to a scent of yearn
inhaled, with her bosom held

La lumière est morte, le coeur a pleuré, la beauté se cache dans la nuit
