"le jardinier amoureux"

"La jolie fleur me regardait.

Troublé par tant d' impertinente beauté,

je posai le tuyau d' arrosage,

un instant plus tard , je suis revenu

avec le petit arrosoir en zinc, rempli de l' eau fraîche de la fontaine"

for english-speaking friends, I try to translate

" the lover gardener"

"The pretty flower looked at me ....

Trouble in my mind by so un impudent beauty,

I put down the watering pipe, a moment later I returned with the little zinc wattering can

filled of fresh water from the fountain "
