by Auguste Angellier (1848 - 1911)

Les chrysanthèmes
Language: French (Français) 
Le jardin n'a plus que des chrysanthèmes ! 
Les rosiers sont morts, et les diadèmes 
    Des derniers soleils 
Tombent, en pliant leurs tiges séchées. 
Dans l'herbe où les fleurs sont déjà couchées 
    Pour les longs sommeils ; 

Les géraniums, les phlox, les colchiques, 
Les lourds dahlias, et les véroniques,
    Et les verges d'or. 
Gisent dans l'humus sous les feuilles mortes. 
En proie au hideux peuple des cloportes,
    Ouvriers de mort.
