by André Gide (1869 - 1951)
Printemps plein d’indolence
Language: French (Français)
Printemps plein d’indolence, J’implore ta clémence. A toi, plein de langueur, J’abandonne mon coeur. Ma pensée indécise Flotte au gré de la brise. Un ruissellement tendre Me pénètre de miel. Ah ! ne voir, ah ! n’entendre Qu’à travers le sommeil. A travers ma paupière, J’accueille ta lumière, Soleil, qui me caresse ; Pardonne à ma paresse... Bois mon cœur sans défense, Soleil plein d’indulgence.
