Ciel, air et vents, plains et monts...

Language: French

Ciel, air et vents, plains et monts découverts,
Tertres [vineux]1 et forêts verdoyantes,
Rivages tors et sources ondoyantes,
Taillis rasés et vous, bocages verts,

Antres moussus à demi-front ouverts,
Prés, boutons, fleurs et herbes rousoyantes,
[Coutans vineus]2 et plages blondoyantes,
[Et vous rochers, écoliers de mes vers]3,

Puisqu'au partir, rongé de soin et d'ire,
A ce bel oeil Adieu je n'ai su dire,
Qui près et loin me détient en émoi,
Je vous suppli', ciel, air, vents, monts et plaines,
Taillis, forêts, rivages et fontaines,
Antres, prés, fleurs, dites-le-lui pour moi.
