by Léon-Émile Petitdidier (1839 - 1927), as Émile Blémont

Qui veut des fleurs, des fleurs, des...
Language: French (Français) 
Qui veut des fleurs, des fleurs, des fleurs ? 
J 'en ai de toutes les couleurs ! 

    J'ai de la pervenche, 
    Du lilas en branche, 
    Et du muguet blanc 
    Au grelot tremblant. 

    J'ai des giroflees, 
    De soleil gonflees, 
    Et tout un tresor 
    De jonquilles d'or. 

    Que vous offrirai-je ? 
    Les boules de neige, 
    L'iris frais ouvert, 
    Le reseda vert ? 

    Respirez la grace 
    Du printemps qui passe ! 
    Voici le bouquet 
    Du printemps coquet. 

    Mais s'ecoule vite : 
    Que Ton en profite ! 
    Vite profitez  
    Des jours enchantes ! 

    Quand s'ouvrent les roses, 
    Plus de fronts moroses, 
    II faut, Dieu merci ! 
    Refleurir aussi. 

Qui veut des fleurs, des fleurs, encore ? 
Tout embaume, tout vient d'eclore !
