Le trésor du verger et le jardin en fête

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG ENG GER GER

Le trésor du verger et le jardin en fête,
  Les fleurs des champs, des bois,
Éclatent de plaisir, hélas ! et sur leur tête
  Le vent enfle sa voix.

Mais toi, noble Océan, que l’assaut des tourmentes
  Ne saurait ravager,
Certes, plus dignement, lorsque tu te lamentes,
  Tu te prends à songer.
