Le Printemps n’a point tant de fleurs
Language: French (Français)
Le Printemps n’a point tant de fleurs, L’automne tant de raisins meurs, L’esté tant de chaleurs haslées, L’hyver tant de froides gelées : Ny la mer n’a tant de poisons Ny la Beauce tant de moyssons Ny la Bretagne tant d’arenes, Ny l’Auvergne tant de fontaines, Ny la nuict tant de clairs flambeaux Ny les forests tant de rameaux Que je porte au cueur, ma maitresse, Pour vous de peine et de tristesse.
