by Théodore Faullin de Banville (1823 - 1891)

Viens. Sur tes cheveux noirs jette un...
Language: French (Français) 
Viens. Sur tes cheveux noirs jette un chapeau de paille.
Avant l'heure du bruit, l'heure où chacun travaille,
Allons voir le matin se lever sur les monts
Et cueillir par les prés les fleurs que nous aimons.
Sur les bords de la source aux moires assouplies,
Les nénufars dorés penchent des fleurs pâlies,
Il reste dans les champs et dans les grands vergers
Comme un écho lointain des chansons des bergers,
Et, secouant pour nous leurs ailes odorantes,
Les brises du matin, comme des soeurs errantes,
Jettent déjà vers toi, tandis que tu souris,
L'odeur du pêcher rose et des pommiers fleuris.
