L'hiver (Banville, set by C. Koechlin) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Au bois de Boulogne, l'Hiver,
La terre a son manteau de neige.
Mille Iris, qui tendent leur piège,
Y passent comme un vif éclair.

Toutes, sous le ciel gris et clair,
Nous chantent le même solfège;
Au bois de Boulogne, l'Hiver,
La terre a son manteau de neige.

Toutes les blancheurs de la chair
Y passent, radieux cortège;
Les Antiopes de Corrège
S'habillent de martre et de vair
Au bois de Boulogne, l'Hiver.
