by Gérard Labrunie (1808 - 1855), as Gérard de Nerval

Chœur
Language: French (Français) 
L'hiver s'enfuit ; le printemps embaumé
Revient suivi des Amours et de Flore ;
Aime demain qui n'a jamais aimé,
Qui fut amant, demain le soit encore !

Hiver était le seul maître des temps,
Lorsque Vénus sortit du sein de l'onde ;
Son premier souffle enfanta le printemps,
Et le printemps fit éclore le monde.

L'été brûlant a ses grasses moissons,
Le riche automne a ses treilles encloses,
L'hiver frileux son manteau de glaçons,
Mais le printemps a l'amour et les roses.

L'hiver s'enfuit, le printemps embaumé
Revient suivi des Amours et de Flore ;
Aime demain qui n'a jamais aimé,
Qui fut amant, demain le soit encore !
