by Maurice Bouchor (1855 - 1929)

Toute la nature en fête pour nous
Language: French (Français) 
Toute la nature en fête pour nous
Nous sourit ainsi qu'une bonne mère,
Et cette éternelle a des yeux bien doux
Pour nos pauvres fleurs d'amour éphémère.

Ô verdissement des sentiers connus,
Roses diaprant la terre embaumée,
Eau [tranquille]1 et claire, où la bien-aimée
Ira rafraîchir ses petits pieds nus ! 

Ô virginité, verdeur printanière,
Léger tissu bleu de l'air doux encor,
Réveil, inondant le ciel de lumière,
Tu chantes en nous comme un oiseau d'or !

Sois la bienvenue, aube lumineuse,
Signe rayonnant d'éternelle foi,
Qui vins éveiller cette matineuse
Et lui dis : « Voici l'amour, lève-toi ! »
