Printemps de la jeune fille

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Vent d'avril ;
tous les bourgeons déjà
ont jailli ;
la terre s'ouvre
et
sa bouche
reste close ?

Pluie et soleil de mai ;
toute les fleurs s'étirent,
silencieuses, redressées,
[vers la lumière,]¹
[la chère lumière]².
Ne le sent-il, ne le sent-il pas ? !
