by Antoine Ferrand (1678 - 1719)
Oiseaux, si tous les ans
Language: French (Français)
Oiseaux, si tous les ans Vous changez de climats, Dès que le triste hiver Dépouille nos bocages; Ce n'est pas seulement Pour changer de feuillages, Ni pour éviter nos frimats; Mais votre destinée Ne vous permet d'aimer, Qu'à la saison des fleurs. Et quand elle est passée, Vous la cherchez ailleurs, Afin d'aimer toute l'année.
