by Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle (1818 - 1894)

Phidylé
Language: French (Français) 
Offre un encens modeste aux Lares familiers,
Phidylé, fruits récents, bandelettes fleuries;
Et tu verras ployer tes riches espaliers
  Sous le poids des grappes mûries.

Laisse aux pentes d'Algide, au vert pays Albain,
La brebis qui promet une toison prochaine
Paître cytise et thym sous l'yeuse et le chêne ;
  Ne rougis pas ta blanche main.

Unis au rosmarin le myrte pour tes Lares.
Offerts d'une main pure aux angles de l'autel,
Souvent, ô Phidylé, mieux que les dons plus rares,
  Les Dieux aiment l'orge et le sel.
