by Henri Chantavoine (1850 - 1918)

Erato !
Language: French (Français) 
La colombe répond au ramier qui l’appelle ;
Les souffles du printemps frémissent dans les bois ;
C’est la tiède saison des brises, le doux mois
Où la vierge est plus tendre et la femme plus belle ;

C’est la saison d’aimer : Heureux les amoureux
Qui suivent lentement une route fleurie,
Et, la main dans la main et les yeux dans les yeux,
Rêvent, sans se parler, leur longue rêverie !

Confirmed with Henri Chantavoine, Au fil des jours, Paris : Alphonse Lemerre, 1889, p.80
