by Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)

Une querelle. Pourquoi ?
Language: French (Français) 
Une querelle. Pourquoi ?
Mon Dieu, parce qu'on s'adore.
À peine s'est-on dit Toi
Que Vous se hâte d'éclore.

Le coeur tire sur son noeud ;
L'azur fuit ; l'âme est diverse.
L'amour est un ciel, qui pleut
Sur les amoureux à verse.

De même, quand, sans effroi,
Dans la forêt que juin dore,
On va rôder, sur la foi
Des promesses de l'aurore,

On peut être pris le soir,
Car le beau temps souvent triche,
Par un gros nuage noir
Qui n'était pas sur l'affiche.
