by Louis Codet (1876 - 1914)

J'ai pelé la petite noix
Language: French (Français) 
                        J'ai pelé la petite noix
Dont j'ai cassé la coque blanche entre deux pierres,
                    La curieuse coque de bois.

                        J'ai pelé la petite noix :
                      On dirait un jouet d’ivoire,
                       Un curieux jouet chinois.

                 L'odeur fraîche et un peu amère 
                             De ces grand bois 
                    M'a parfumé la bouche entière !
                        J'ai croqué la petite noix, 
                         Ce curieux jouet chinois.
