by Francis Jammes (1868 - 1938)

Oh! ce parfum d'enfance dans la prairie
 (Sung text for setting by C. Bordes)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Oh! ce parfum d'enfance dans la prairie trempée
d'eau et d'azur, parfum de pieuse jonchée
de joncs fleuris sous les pas de processions des hameaux noirs,
parfum de fougère écrasée au soir
d'un jour torride quand les inflexions des chants
ne peuvent pas mourir et que mon âme
a peur de trop aimer parfum de lys enflammes
comme j'en voyais dans les vieux paroissiens,
parfum des dimanches soirs dans les jardins,
parfums d'encensoirs purs qui vontà Dieu ensemble,
parfum de rosiers qui, à l'aube, tremblent...
