Il sied, maîtresse, Que ma maintresse Des fleurs d'aurore en le soir de tes cheveux Et que tu dises Ces mignardises Qui sont le verbe adorable où s'expriment nos vœux ! Reste, ma belle ; Je suis à tes genoux, Reste Dans leur nid frêle Les oiseaux seront tous jaloux de nous, Et laisse envoler, du seuil en fièvre De la ruche claire qu'est ta lèvre, l'essaim des baisers dont le charme est si doux Enlaçons-nous bien tendrement... Le soir descend ; L'heure benie Nous harmonie À la caresse ineffable du jour Comme je t'aime, C'est un baptême Qui rend fidèle au seul rite infini de l'Amour !
