en français:
voici de fruits,
des fleurs,
des feuilles et
des branches
et puis voici
mon cœur qui
ne bat que
pour vous.
ne le déchirez
pas avec vos
deux mains
blanches
et qu'à
vos yeux si
beaux
l'humble
présent
soit deux.
- paul verlaine
in english:
see, blossoms,
branches,
fruit, leaves
i have brought,
and then my
heart that
beats only
for you:
with those
white hands
of yours, oh,
tear it not,
but let the
poor gift
prosper
in your
eyes.
- paul verlaine
