Marguerite
Language: French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
Au bord du Rhin où tout fleurit, Où tout sourit ; Notre enfance de bonheur pleine, Gaîement coulait ; Chaque vieille mère filait, Filait la laine, Et chaque fille tout le jour Parlait d'amour.. J'étais la fleur de notre champ, La Marguerite Qu'un léger souffle en la touchant Dessèche vite. Le souffle d'amour m'a touchée, Et desséchée Les fleurs qu'un jour a pu flétrir N'ont qu'à mourir.
