À côté de mois de Mai

Language: French (Français) after the English

À côté de mois de Mai,
Nous savons
Qu'il y en a un Autre --
Comme sont belles
Nos Spéculations sur l'Étranger !

Certains connaisse Celui que Nous connaissons --
Douce Merveille --
Une Nature
Où les Saints et notre Voisin tout simple
Fêtent Mai !
