Sonnet d'amour
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Sous le soleil qui les irise, En dorant leur reflets soyeux Je voudrais dans tes blonds cheveux passer léger comme la brise, Et sur ton cou charmant, où frise Une boucle aux plis onduleux, En respirer, voluptueux, L'enivrant parfum qui me grise. Comme au hasard, sans y penser, Serait-ce vraimant t'offenser Si sur tes lèvres de cerise Je mettais, sachant t'apaiser Avec l'amour que tu m'a prise, Toute ma vie en un baiser?
