by Maurice Vaucaire (1864 - 1918)

La neige de l'hiver passé
Language: French (Français) 
La neige de l'hiver passé
N'a pas séjourné sur la route,
Le soleil l'a mise en déroute ...
Pourquoi ton cœur est-il glacé ?

Le rossignol, ce virtuose,
Qui disparut l'autre saison,
Chante aujourd'hui sur la maison ...
Pourquoi ne dis-tu plus grand chose ?

Avril revient gaiment vêtu,
La terre est toute recouverte
De boutons d'or et d'herbe verte ...
Pourquoi pars-tu ?
