by André Chénier (1762 - 1794)
On dit que l’on a vu, de roses couronné
Language: French (Français)
On dit que l’on a vu, de roses couronné,
Le jeune et beau printemps sur nos bords ramené.
C’est aux autres amants dont l’amante est fidèle
De chanter les douceurs de la saison nouvelle.
Thestilis m’abandonne ; elle a trahi sa foi ;
Il n’est plus de printemps ni de roses pour moi.
Primavera per me piu non è mai.
Petrarq., sonnet 9.
