Coupez le myrte blanc aux bocages...
Language: French (Français)
Coupez le myrte blanc aux bocages d’Athènes,
À Nîmes le jasmin ;
À Lille et dans Paris, que les roses hautaines
Tombent sous votre main,
Aux Martigues d’azur allez cueillir encore
La flore des étangs,
Pour former la couronne, amis, qui me décore
Et me garde du temps.
