le Lys Est Le Plus Beau
Andre Marie de Chenier 1762 (Constantinople) – 1794 (Paris)
Le lys est le plus beau des enfants du zéphire,
Il lève un front superbe et demande l'empire.
Des suaves esprits dans sa coupe formés,
L'air, les eaux, le bocage, au loin sont embaumés.
Sous l'herbe, loin des yeux, plus aimable et moins belle,
La violette fuit. Son parfum la révèle,
Avertit qu'elle est là; que, voulant se cacher
Là, pour le sein qu'on aime, il faut l'aller chercher.
