“White moon gleaming
Among trees,
From every branch
Sound rising into
Canopies.”
La lune blanche
Luit dans les bois;
De chaque branche
Part une voix
Sous la ramée.
"La lune blanche", line 1, from La Bonne Chanson (1872); Sorrell p. 57
Original
La lune blanche Luit dans les bois; De chaque branche Part une voix Sous la ramée.
