Rondeau du printemps

Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)



Des pêchers roses, tous en chœur
Embaument les vignes désertes ;
Le battoir fait son bruit claqueur
Au bord des mares découvertes,
Et la nuit perd de sa longueur.

Le vent qui n’a plus de rigueur
Éparpille en souffles alertes
La contagieuse langueur
      Des pêchers roses.

L’Amour sourit, tendre et moqueur,
Car bientôt, dans les herbes vertes,
Œil mi-clos, lèvres entr’ouvertes,
Plus d’une aux bras de son vainqueur
Va commettre de tout son cœur
      Des péchés roses.
