by Paul Verlaine (1844 - 1896)
Un pavillon à claires‑voies
Language: French (Français)
Un pavillon à claires-voies Abrite doucement nos joies Qu'éventent des rosiers amis; L'odeur des roses, faible, grâce Au vent léger d'été qui passe, Se mêle aux parfums qu'elle a mis ; Comme ses yeux l'avaient promis, Son courage est grand et sa lèvre Communique une exquise fièvre ; Et l'Amour comblant tout, hormis La Faim, sorbets et confitures Nous préservent des courbatures.
