La nature succombe sous la charge

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Cavatine : Lucas
 La nature succombe sous la charge ;
 Fleurs fanées, prairies sèches,
 Sources taries, tout montre la vaillance de la chaleur,
 Et sans force languissent les hommes
 Et les animaux, allongés par terre.
