by Paul Collin (1845 - 1915)

Rondel d’avril
Language: French (Français) 
Avril est si doux ! Bénissons
Dieu des beaux jours qu'il nous apprête.
La sève qui monte aux buissons
A tous nous fait tourner la tête.

Les poètes et les pinsons
Ensemble se mettent en fète.
Avril est si doux ! Bénissons
Dieu des beaux jours qu'il nous apprête.

Et grand homme et petite bête
Disent de joyeuses chansons.
N'espérez pas que rien arrête,
Avant l'hiver, ces unissons...
Avril est si doux ! Benissons
Dieu des beaux jours qu'il nous apprête.

Confirmed with Paul Collin, Rondel d’avril, in: L'année poétique , 1901, 1902, 1905, Band 2, Fischbacher, 1902, p.120
