by Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)

Quand de ta lèvre à demi close
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Quand de ta lèvre à demi close,
Comme entre deux fleuris sentiers,
Je sens ton haleine de rose,
Mes lèvres, les avant portiers
Du baiser, se rougissent d'aise,
Et de mes souhaits tous entiers
Me font jouir, quand je te baise.
Car l'humeur du baiser apaise,
S'écoulant au coeur peu à peu,
Cette chaude amoureuse braise,
Dont tes veux allumaient le feu.
