Dans le ciel est dressé le chêne séculaire Matches base text
Language: French (Français)
Dans le ciel est dressé le chêne séculaire. Que vous me plaisez mieux, Marronniers de Paris, qu'un bec de gaz éclaire Dans le soir pluvieux! En vain il chante, enflant ses branches insensées, La sève et le matin. Mais votre triste front où je lis vos pensées Surmonte le destin.
