by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Après l'hiver frileux et nu
Language: French (Français) 
Après l'hiver frileux et nu,
Encor mouillé de son baptême,
Voici le printemps revenu.
Tout rêve, tout chante, tout aime!
Toute femme voudrait charmer.
La seule qui me soit méchante
Est celle que je veux aimer.
Tout aime, tout rêve, tout chante!

Un seul jour elle m'a souri,
Et pour moi sapitié fut brève.
Pourtant je n'en ai pas guéri.
Tout rêve, tout chante, tout aime!
Toute femme voudrait charmer.
La seule qui me soit méchante
Est celle que je veux aimer.
Tout aime, tout rêve, tout chante!
