by Armand Silvestre (1837 - 1901)

Il pleuvait... l'épaisseur des mousses
Language: French (Français) 
Il pleuvait... l'épaisseur des mousses
Fil trait une tiède vapeur que montait, 
que mon tait sous les feuilles rousses

Elle avait peur... pour ses pieds frêles
Chaussés de satin virginal
Et comme un oiseau matinal
Avec des frémissements d'ailes
Il pleuvait
Comme un cygne sous le duvet
J'enfermais ses blanches épaules
Et je l'emportais vers les saules, vers les saules,
Je l'emportais dans mes bras tremblants.
Il pleuvait...
