Automnale

L’été s’en est allé aux dernières vendanges.

Chaque soir le soleil se meurt un peu plus tôt.

Le bleu du ciel pâlit. Le merle et la mésange

Ont déjà déserté la fontaine aux oiseaux.

Le grand chêne attristé laisse pleurer ses feuilles

Que le vent plus hardi conduit à leur trépas.

Elles ont recouvert le sol qui les recueille

D’un tapis mordoré qui craque sous les pas.

L’abeille ne boit plus au calice des roses.

Le papillon de mai ne s’éveillera pas.

Le jardin fatigué paresse, se repose,

Avant que d’affronter décembre et ses frimas.

L’hirondelle a rejoint des aurores lointaines.

La fumée, sur le toit, danse au rythme du vent.

Quand la brume du soir emprisonne la plaine,

Le vol des souvenirs s’alanguit doucement.

Autumnal

 

Summer has gone away since the last grape harvest.

Each evening the sun dies a little earlier.

The blue of the sky fades. The blackbird and the titmouse

Already deserted the birds fountain.

 

The large saddened oak lets its leaves cry

Which the bolder wind led to their demise.

They covered the ground which collects them

With a golden brown carpet which cracks under the steps.

 

The bee does not drink any more in the roses chalice.

The butterfly of May will not wake up.

The tired garden lazes, rests,

Before to face December and its bragged.

 

The swallow joined distant dawns.

Smoke, on the roof, dances in the rhythm of the wind.

When evening mist imprisons the plain,

Flight of the memories gently grows languid.

Renée Jeanne Mignard
