Pierrot Dandy

D'un rayon de lune fantasque
Luisent les flacons de cristal
Sur le lavabo de santal
Du pâle dandy bergamasque.

La fontaine rit dans sa vasque
Avec un son clair de métal.
D'un rayon de Lune fantasque
Luisent les flacons de cristal.

Mais le seigneur à blanche basque,
Laissant le rouge végétal
Et le fard vert oriental
Maquille étrangement son masque
D'un rayon de Lune fantasque.
