Le Printemps
Language: French (Français)
Te voilà, rire du Printemps ! Les thyrses des lilas fleurissent. Les amantes, qui te chérissent Délivrent leurs cheveux flottants. Sous les rayons d'or éclatants Les anciens lierres se flétrissent. Te voilà, rire du Printemps ! Les thyrses des lilas fleurissent. Couchons-nous au bord des étangs, Que nos maux amers se guérissent ! Mille espoirs fabuleux nourrissent Nos cœurs [émus]1 et palpitants. Te voilà, rire du Printemps !
