Le saule
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: CHI
Le saule pleureur a penché Vers l'eau ses branches affligées Qui semblent à jamais chargées Du poids d'un antique péché. La ramure longue et flexible, Triste d'un repentir constant, Paraît avoir pleuré l'étang Qui reflète un ciel impassible.
