by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Fleur de néflier
Language: French (Français) 
Ma mignonne est plus douce
Que la fleur du néflier !
Et je ne saurais oublier
Ses cheveux pareils à la mousse
Du champagne de mon cellier !

Ma mignonne est plus tendre
Que la cime du bouleau !
Soyeuse comme un nid d'oiseau !
Le pinson se tait pour l'entendre,
Quand elle chante au fil d'eau !

Ma mignonne est glacée
Comme un lac éblouissant !
Son bleu regard toujours absent,
Son front candide et sans pensée
Ont brûlé mon cœur et mon sang !

Ma mignonne est farouche
Comme la lune d'été !
Pour une heure de sa bonté,
Pour un seul baiser de sa bouche
Je donnerais l'éternité !
