J'ai laissé de mon sein de neige
Language: French (Français)
J'ai laissé de mon sein de neige Tomber un œillet rouge à l'eau, Hélas ! comment le reprendrai-je, Mouillé par l'onde du ruisseau ? Voilà le courant qui l'entraîne ! Bel œillet aux vives couleurs, Pourquoi tomber dans la fontaine ? Pour t'arroser j'avais mes pleurs !
