by Max Jacob (1876 - 1944)

Lord Bolingbroke est en voyage
Language: French (Français) 
Lord Bolingbroke est en voyage
et perd sa mule, sa mule de satin
Page, va voir! ô mon beau page
elle est dans le bois de sapins! 

Ne crains pas, lui dit une fée,
je t’en donne deux autres en or
— Non! celle-là fut mon aimée
Merci! madame Belphégor!

Et l’écho répétait en plaine
l’écho d’écho des chants du cor
et l’écho répétait en plaine
merci! madame Belphégor!
