Le Printemps

Le Printemps

Après tout ce blanc vient le vert,
Le printemps vient après l’hiver.
Après le grand froid le soleil,
Après la neige vient le nid ,
Après le noir vient le réveil,
L’ histoire n’est jamais finie.
Après tout ce blanc vient le vert,
Le printemps vient après l’hiver,
Et après la pluie le beau temps.

Claude Roy

I'd love you to leave me a message. Tell me what you like - and what you don't. Just remember that this is what we do in our family - it doesn't have to be what you do in yours...
