    Proche de notre métairie,
    Dans cet endroit sous le sorbiers,
    Mi-terre vague, mi-prairie,
   Où les poules cherchent leur vie
Entre le puits-fontaine et le vieux colombier,
Perché sur les fagots, gonflé, battant des ailes,
Devers le jour vermeil au fin bout des touzelles,
Le coq chante au vent vif. Et sais-tu ce qu’il dit ?
    « Tiens-toi debout ! la nuit s’achève ;
    « Celui qui premier se lève
    « Entre en Paradis ! »
