Invocation: Ciel, air et vents
 (Sung text for setting by J. Leguerney)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG
Ciel, air et vents, plains et monts découverts, 
Tertres vineux et forêts verdoyantes, 
Rivages tors et sources ondoyantes, 
Taillis rasés et vous, bocages verts, 
Antres moussus à demi-front ouverts, 
Coteaux vineux et plages blondoyantes,
Prés, boutons, fleurs et herbes rousoyantes,
Et vous rochers, écoliers de mes vers !
Puisqu'au partir, rongé de soin et d'ire, 
A ce bel œil adieu je n'ai su dire, 
Qui près et loin me détient en émoi, 
Je vous suppli', ciel, air, vents, monts et plaines, 
Taillis, forêts, rivages et fontaines 
Antres, prés, fleurs, dites-le-lui pour moi.
