Eau printanière, pluie harmonieuse et douce, Ainsi qu'une rigole à travers le verger Et plus que l'arrosoir balancé sur la mousse, Comme tu prends mon cœur en ton réseau léger! À ma fenêtre ou bien sous le hangar des routes Où je cherche un abri, de quel bonheur secret Viens-tu mêler ma peine? Et dans tes belles gouttes Quel est ce souvenir ou cet ancien regret?

Springtime water, rain harmonious and sweet, Just as a rivulet through the orchard And more than the watering can balanced on the moss, You take my heart in your light web! At my window or under the road shed Where I search for shelter, with what secret happiness Are you coming to mix my pain? And in your beautiful drops What is this memory or this old regret?
