by Edmond Rostand (1868 - 1918)

Déjeûner de soleil
Language: French (Français) 
Le soleil hume la rosée
Qui s’évapore lentement.
Vers lui, dans le matin charmant,
Elle monte, vaporisée.

L’aurore fait le firmament
D’une teinte exquise et rosée.
Le soleil hume la rosée
Qui s’évapore lentement.

Sur chaque brin d’herbe est posée
Une goutte arc-en-cielisée
De plus de feux qu’un diamant…
Et, comme il en est très gourmand,
Le soleil hume la rosée.

Confirmed with Edmond Rostand, Les Musardises, Paris, Librairie Charpentier et Fasquelle, 1911, page 77.
