Les Feuilles d'Automne is a collection of poems written by Victor Hugo, and published in 1831. It contains a multitude of poems, six of which are especially known as Soleils Couchants. [1]
Ce siècle avait deux ans (This century was two years old)
« Ce siècle avait deux ans ! Rome remplaçait Sparte
Déjà Napoléon perçait sous Bonaparte.
Et du premier consul déjà, par maint endroit,
Le front de l'empereur brisait le masque étroit. »
Le soleil s'est couché ce soir dans les nuées: (Soleils couchants) (The sun set tonight in the clouds)
« Le soleil s'est couché ce soir dans les nuées ;
Demain viendra l'orage, et le soir, et la nuit ;
Puis l'aube, et ses clartés de vapeur obstruées ;
Puis les nuits, puis les jours, pas du temps qui s'enfuit !
Tous ces jours passeront ; ils passeront en foule
Sur la face des mers, sur la face des monts,
Sur les fleuves d'argent, sur les forets où roule
Comme un hymne confus des morts que nous aimons.
Et la face des eaux, et le front des montagnes.
Ridés et non-vieillis, et les bois toujours verts
S'iront rajeunissant ; le fleuve des campagnes
Prendra sans cesse aux monts le flot qu'il donne aux mers.
Mais moi, sous chaque jour courbant plus bas ma tête,
Je passe, et refroidi sous ce soleil joyeux,
Je m'en irai bientôt, au milieu de la fête,
Sans que rien manque au monde, immense et radieux ! »
The collection Les Feuilles d'automne contains the following poems:

Les nuits d'été, Op. 7, is a song cycle by the French composer Hector Berlioz. It is a setting of six poems by Théophile Gautier. The cycle, completed in 1841, was originally for soloist and piano accompaniment. Berlioz orchestrated one of the songs in 1843, and did the same for the other five in 1856. The cycle was neglected for many years, but during the 20th century it became, and has remained, one of the composer's most popular works. The full orchestral version is more frequently performed in concert and on record than the piano original. The theme of the work is the progress of love, from youthful innocence to loss and finally renewal.
