    The Suitors
    by Frédéric Mistral 

    When violets are blue in the blue shadows
    Of the o'erhanging trees,
    The youth who stray in pairs about the meadows
    Are glad to gather these.

    When peace descends upon the troubled Ocean,
    And he his wrath forgets,
    Flock from Martigue the boats with wing-like motion,
    The fishes fill the nets.

    And when the girls of Crau bloom into beauty
    (And fairer earth knows not).
    Aye are there suitors ready for their duty
    In castle and in cot.
