by Francis Jammes (1868 - 1938)

Je suis une brebis qui court dans les...
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Je suis une brebis qui court dans les œillets.
Elle tremble, et sa voix semble toute mouillée
lorsque l'on voit le jour succéder à la nuit :
Car l'aurore est bien froide avant que la brebis
dans le pur arc-en-ciel soit tout ensoleillée...
Renais, soleil ! Du fond des cirques ténébreux,
renaissez, renaissez, Mystères glorieux,
pour la brebis qui tremble au milieu des œillets ?
