by Paul Bourget (1852 - 1935)
Sur la falaise
Language: French (Français)
Les papillons bleus, les papillons blancs, Sur les prés mouillés et les blés tremblants, Vont battant des ailes. C'est sous le soleil un frémissement Qui fait s'incliner les fleurs doucement Sur leurs tiges frêles. Contre les rochers, avec des sanglots, En bas, l’Océan vient briser ses flots Brodés d’étincelles. Là-haut, sans souci des flots onduleux, Les papillons blancs, les papillons bleus Vont battant des ailes.
