by Alphonse Capon (flourished c1882)

Connaissiez‑vous mon hirondelle ?
Language: French (Français) 
Connaissiez-vous mon hirondelle ?
Elle est morte, morte de froid,
Elle avait un si doux bruit d’aile.
Elle était bleue, elle était belle,
Elle m’approchait sans effroi.
Connaissiez-vous mon hirondelle ?
Elle venait sans qu’on l’appelle
Gaiement se poser sur mon doigt,
Elle avait un si doux bruit d’aile.
J’étais heureux à coté d’elle,
Elle semblait me dire: toi !
Connaissiez-vous mon hirondelle ?
Non, rien ne m’était plus fidèle,
C’était comme un enfant pour moi,
Connaissiez-vous mon hirondelle !
