by Jean Richepin (1849 - 1926)

Noël de neige
Language: French (Français) 
Carillonez ! Dig, ding, don !
C'est Noël, la cloche chante.
Mais las ! la neige méchante
Couvre le joyeux bourdon.

Bah! Ciel triste et chanson folle,
Qu'en restera-t'il demain ?
La neige fond dans ma main, 
Le Noël dans l'air s'envole !

Puisqu'on voit au même instant 
Jean qui rit et Jean qui pleure,
Et que tous deux sont un leurre,
A tous deux buvons d'autant !

O neige qui t'effiloches,
Sème tes blancs papillons !
Carillonez, carillons,
Eclats de rires des cloches !
