Le colibri
Language: French (Français)
Quand du zéphyr l’haleine est chaude, rubis, saphir, verte émeraude, le colibri dans le calice des fleurs se glisse, c’est son abri. Où donc est-il, cet oiseau frêle? Pas de babil qui le révèle. Au moindre bruit on le découvre, la fleur s’entr’ouvre, l’oiseau s’enfuit.
