by François Coppée (1842 - 1908)

Matin d'octobre
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG
C'est l'heure exquise et matinale
Que rougit un soleil soudain. 
A travers la brume automnale 
Tombent les feuilles du jardin.

Leur chute est lente. Ou peut les suivre 
Du regard en reconnaissant
Le chêne à sa feuille de cuivre, 
L'érable à sa feuille de sang.

Les dernières, les plus rouillées, 
Tombent des branches dépouillées : 
Mais ce n'est pas l'hiver encor.

Une blonde lumière arrose 
La nature, et, dans l'air tout rose,
On croirait qu'il neige de l'or.
