Iris, à son brillant mouchoir
Language: French (Français)
Iris, à son brillant mouchoir, De sept feux illumine La molle averse qui chemine, Harmonieuse à choir. Ah, sur les roses de l'été, Sois la mouvante robe, Molle averse, qui me dérobe Leur aride beauté. Et vous, dont le rire joyeux M'a caché tant d'alarmes, Puissé-je voir enfin des larmes Monter jusqu'à vos yeux.
