Le dernier sorcier

Coulez, gouttes fines,
Le long des collines,
En petits ruisseaux ;
Coulez, sur la mousse
Verdoyante et douce,
Baignez les rameaux.

Le vent vous entraîne
Jusque dans la plaine,
Qui répand au loin
Une odeur de foin. 
Sous l'eau qui ruisselle
En ruisseau mouvant
La fleur étincelle 
Comme un diamant.
Coulez, gouttes fines,
Le long des collines,
En petits ruisseaux ;
Coulez, sur la mousse
Verdoyante et douce,
Baignez les rameaux.
