Sky, air and winds
Jacques Leguerney
Sky, air and winds, naked hills and plains,
vine-covered mounds and green forests,
twisting banks and flowing springs,
fallen thickets, green woods,
mossy caves half-concealed,
fields, buds, flowers, warming grasses,
viney slopes and pale beaches,
and you, rocks, schooled by my verses,
because when parting, full of care and anger,
I could not say adieu to this fair eye
which stirs me whether near or far,
I beg you, sky, air, winds, mountains and plains,
thickets, forests, banks and springs,
caves, fields, flowers, tell her for me.
