by Louis Arnould-Grémilly (d. 1963)

Calme des jardins
Language: French (Français) 
Calme des jardins, qu'inonde la lune,
N'embellirez-vous pas
Ce cœur, qu'aujourd'hui l'amour importune
Comme un long repas ?

Belle, qui dors sans te soucier 
De choses vaines,
Vin nourricier,
Ton sang circule dans tes veines !

Ton pied cambré, conque marine,
Pend, rose et nu,
Frais comme un son d'une clarine,
Fifre ingénu !

Tu ne sais que dormir et prolonger l'ivresse
D'un bref amour qui grise et blesse comme un fer,
Ignorant pour ton bien que ce sang qui t'opresse,
C'est la vague et le flot des mers !

Calme des jardins, qu'inonde la lune,
N'embellirez-vous pas
Ce cœur, qu'aujourd'hui l'amour importune
Comme un long repas ?
