Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage, Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore, Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore ; Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière, Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues, Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues. Hélas ! Hélas ! triste réveil des songes Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends-moi tes mensonges, Reviens, reviens radieuse, Reviens ô nuit mystérieuse !

En un sueño que tu imagen encantaba Yo soñé la felicidad, ardiente espejismo, Tus ojos eran más dulces, tu voz pura y sonora, Tu brillabas como un cielo iluminado por la aurora; Tú me llamabas y yo dejaba la tierra para escaparme contigo hacia la luz, Los cielos, para nosotros entreabrían sus nubes Esplendores desconocidos, ardores divinos entrevistos, Oh desdicha! Oh desdicha! Triste despertar de los sueños Yo te invoco, oh noche, devuélveme tus mentiras, Vuelve, vuelve radiante Vuelve Oh noche misteriosa!
