Here's why:
* "Et la lune descend sur le temple": This is a common poetic trope. It's a simple yet evocative image of a moon casting its light on an ancient structure. It suggests mystery, tranquility, and the passing of time.
* "qui fut": This phrase adds a sense of history and transience. It implies that the temple once held a different significance, perhaps a time of glory or worship, now lost to time.
While there might be poems that use similar imagery, this phrase doesn't directly link to a specific work. It's more like a template for a poetic image that many poets could have used in their own works.
To find a specific poem that uses this phrase, you would need more context, such as the author, the date, or a specific book/collection it might be from.
