by Henri Allorge (1878 - 1938)

Effusion
Language: French (Français) 
C’est toi que j’aime en la nature,
Toi seule animes l’univers ;
Le printemps, aux ombrages verts,
L’automne, à la fauve parure,

Tirent leur beauté la plus pure
Du reflet de tes yeux si chers.
C’est toi que j’aime en la nature,
Toi seule animes l’univers.

C’est ton âme qui transfigure
Le bois jauni par les hivers,
L’écharpe rose des cieux clairs,
Et le bassin, et la sculpture….
- C’est toi que j’aime en la nature !
