by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)

Le Printemps n’a point tant de fleurs
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG GER
Le Printemps n’a point tant de fleurs,
L’automne tant de raisins meurs,
L’esté tant de chaleurs haslées,
L’hyver tant de froides gelées :

Ny la mer n’a tant de poisons
Ny la Beauce tant de moyssons
Ny la Bretagne tant d’arenes,
Ny l’Auvergne tant de fontaines,

Ny la nuict tant de clairs flambeaux
Ny les forests tant de rameaux
Que je porte au cueur, ma maitresse,
Pour vous de peine et de tristesse.
