Le colibri
Language: French (Français)
J'ai vu passer aux pays froids L'oiseau des îles merveilleuses, Il allait frôlant les yeuses Et les sapins mornes des bois. Je lui dis : "Tes plages sont belles, Ne pleures-tu pas leur soleil ?" Il répondit : "Tout m'est vermeil : Je porte mon ciel sur mes ailes !"
