by Francis Jammes (1868 - 1938)
Le pays arrosé
Language: French (Français)
Quelle est là-bas là-bas légère et sinueuse Cette vapeur bientôt fondue à la clarté ? La rivière riante, on la nomme Joyeuse, Qui roule son eau fraîche au milieu de l'été.
Confirmed with Francis Jammes, Le premier livre de quatrains, Paris: Mercure de France, 1923, Page 43.
