D'un vanneur de blé aux vents

Joachim du Bellay 1525 (Liré) – 1560 (Paris)



A vous, troupe légère,
Qui d'aile passagère
Par le monde volez,
Et d'un sifflant murmure
L'ombrageuse verdure
Doucement ébranlez,

J'offre ces violettes,
Ces lis et ces fleurettes,
Et ces roses ici,
Ces vermeillettes roses,
Tout fraîchement écloses,
Et ces oeillets aussi.

De votre douce haleine
Éventez cette plaine,
Éventez ce séjour,
Cependant que j'ahanne
A mon blé que je vanne
A la chaleur du jour.
