by Théodore Faullin de Banville (1823 - 1891)

Nous n'irons plus aux bois, les lauriers...
Language: French (Français) 
Nous n'irons plus aux bois, les lauriers sont coupés.
Les Amours des bassins, les Naïades en groupe 
Voient reluire au soleil en cristaux découpés
Les flots silencieux qui coulaient de leur coupe.
Les lauriers sont coupés, et le cerf aux abois 
Tressaille au son du cor ; nous n'irons plus aux bois.
Où des enfants joueurs riait la folle troupe
Parmi les lys d'argent aux pleurs du ciel trempés.
Voici l'herbe qu'on fauche et les lauriers qu'on coupe.
Nous n'irons plus au bois les lauriers sont coupés.
