Fleurs qu'adore
La beauté,
Ciel que dore
La gaîté,
[Hors la ville,
Frais asile,
Mer tranquille]1,
C'est l'été !
Lune pleine,
Mer qui luit,
Tiède haleine
Qui la suit.
Sous la treille,
Douce veille,
Sans pareille :
C'est la nuit !
Feu qui dore
Tout séjour
Et dévore
Chaque jour,
Deuil et fête,
Dans la tête
Du poète :
C'est l'amour !

Flowers adored
Language: English after the French (Français)
Flowers adored
by beauty,
a sky gilded
by gaiety.
Far from towns,
cool refuges
and calm waters
– that is summer.
A full moon,
a shining sea,
a warm breeze
moving along it.
Under the trellis,
a late evening,
gentle and unmatched
- that is night.
A fire gilding
every place
and consuming
every day.
Grief and joy
in the mind
of the poet
– that is love.
