Fleur des blés

Chosen for Diff

Le long des blés que la brise
Fait onduler puis défrise
En un désordre coquet,
J'ai trouvé de bonne prise
De t'y cueillir un bouquet.

Mets-le vite à ton corsage, --
Il est fait à ton image
En même temps que pour toi...
Ton petit doigt, je le gage,
T'a déjà soufflé pourquoi :

Ces épis dorés, c'est l'onde
De ta chevelure blonde
Toute d'or et de soleil ;
Ce coquelicot qui fronde,
C'est ta bouche au sang vermeil.

Et ces bluets, beau mystère !
Points d'azur que rien n'altère,
Ces bluets ce sont tes yeux,
Si bleus qu'on dirait, sur terre,
Deux éclats tombés des cieux.

Fiori del grano

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the French (Français)

Chosen for Diff

Tra gli steli del grano che il vento
fa ondulare e poi raddrizza
in un disordine malizioso
ho potuto con grande facilità
cogliere per te un mazzolino di fiori.

Mettili lesta sul tuo seno,
perchè è fatto a tua immagine
tanto è colto per te ...
Il tuo ditino, io lo so,
t'ha già suggerito perché:

queste spighe d'oro son l'onda
dei tuoi capelli biondi
tutti d'oro e di sole;
il papavero che spunta
è la tua bocca vermiglia di sangue.

E le campanule blu, mistero bello!
punti cerulei che nulla può cambiare,
questi azzurri sono i tuoi occhi
così blu che si direbbe, sulla terra,
due frammenti caduti dal cielo.
