Iris, à son brillant mouchoir,
De sept feux illumine
La molle averse qui chemine,
Harmonieuse à choir.
Ah, sur les roses de l'été,
Sois la mouvante robe,
Molle averse, qui me dérobe
Leur aride beauté.
Et vous, dont le rire joyeux
M'a caché tant d'alarmes,
Puissé-je voir enfin des larmes
Monter jusqu'à vos yeux.
