by André Gide (1869 - 1951)
La brise vagabonde
Language: French (Français)
La brise vagabonde A caressé les fleurs. Je t'écoute de tout mon cœur, Chant du premier matin du monde. Ivresse matinale, Rayons naissants, pétales Tout poissés de liqueur... Cède sans plus attendre Au conseil le plus tendre Et laisse l'avenir Doucement t'envahir. Voici que se fait si furtive La tiède caresse du jour Que l'âme la plus craintive S'abandonnerait à l'amour.
