by Charles Le Goffic (1863 - 1932)

Printemps de Bretagne
Language: French (Français) 
Une aube de douceur s'éveille sur la lande :
Le printemps de Bretagne a fleuri les talus. 
Les cloches de Ker-Is l'ont dit jusqu'en Islande 
Aux pâles " En Allés " qui ne reviendront plus.

Noirs aussi qui vivons et qui mourons loin d'elle, 
Loin de la douce fée aux cheveux de genêt, 
Que notre cour au moins lui demeure fidèle, 
Renaissons avec elle à l'heure où tout renaît.

Ô printemps de Bretagne, enchantement du monde ! 
Sourire virginal de la terre et des eaux ! 
C'est comme un miel épars dans la lumière blonde :
Viviane éveillée a repris ses fuseaux.
