Analysis of Chanson

Pierre de Ronsard 1524 (Couture-sur-Loir) – 1585 (La Riche)



Le printemps n'a point tant de fleurs,
L'automne tant de raisins meurs,
L'été tant de chaleurs halées,
L'hiver tant de froides gelées,
Ni la mer a tant de poissons,
Ni la Beauce tant de moissons,
Ni la Bretagne tant d'arènes,
Ni l'Auvergne tant de fontaines,
Ni la nuit tant de clairs flambeaux,
Ni les forêts tant de rameaux,
Que je porte au coeur, ma maîtresse,
Pour vous de peine et de tristesse.
