You can help us modernize! The present website has been online for a very long time and we want to bring it up to date. As of April 20, we are $4,600 away from our goal of $15,000 to fund the project. The fully redesigned site will be better for mobile, easier to read and navigate, and ready for the next decade. Please give today and join dozens of other supporters in making this important renovation possible!

Certain rat dans une cuisine

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch) 

Certain rat dans une cuisine
Avait pris place; et le frater
S'y traita si bien, que sa mine
Eût fait envie au gros Luther.
Mais un beau jour, le pauvre diable,
Empoisonné, sauta dehors,
Aussi triste, aussi misérable
Que s'il eût eu l'amour au corps.

Que s'il eût eu l'amour au corps.

Il courait devant et derrière,
Il grattait, reniflait, mordait,
Parcourait la maison entière,
Où de douleur il se tordait...
Au point qu'à le voir en délire
Perdre ses cris et ses efforts,
Les mauvais plaisants pouvaient dire:
« Hélas! il a l'amour au corps!»

Hélas! il a l'amour au corps!

Dans le fourneau le pauvre sire
Crut enfin se cacher très-bien,
Mais il se trompait; et le pire,
C'est qu'il y creva comme un chien.
La servante, méchante fille,
De son malheur rit bien alors.
« Ah ! disait-elle, comme il grille!
Il a vraiment l'amour au corps!»

Il a vraiment l'amour au corps!
