wood sleeping

the lament of the Breton heart , fragment

When, from the center of the deep sea,

Like a alcyon in its nest,

the Breton Heart came in the world

In its hard cradle from granite,

It was one evening, one evening of autumn,

Under a sky low, ringed iron,

And on the poor Breton Heart

Pleurait the evening, sang the sea.

Spring of Brittany , fragment

a paddle of softness wakes up on the moor:

the spring of Brittany flowered the slopes.

the bells of Ker-Is said it as far as Iceland

To pale “In Gone” which will not return any more.

We also who live and who pimpernels far from it,

Far from the soft fairy with the hair of broom,

That our heart to at least remains him faithful,

Renaissons with it per hour when all reappears.

O spring of Brittany, enchantment of the world!

To smile virginal of the ground and water!

It is like a scattered honey in the fair light:

waked up Viviane took again her spindles.
