by Édouard Guinand (1838 - 1909)

Le moulin
Language: French (Français) 
Tourne, tourne, mon moulin !
Un bon vent gonfle ton aile ;
De blé grenier est plein,
Le meunier fait sentinelle.

Tourne, tourne, mon moulin !
À la tranquille cadence
L'enfant dort sur mes genoux,
Moi, je rêve argent qui danse,

Du marché jusque chez nous …
À la tranquille cadence.
Quand le moulin tourne fort,
C'est la joie et la richesse ;

Pour moissonner que d'effort !
Mais enfin la peine cessent,
Quand le moulin tourne fort.
De bien loin, sur la colline,

On l'aperçoit se mouvoir,
Et lorsque le jour décline,
C'est un spectre qu'on croit voir
De bien loin sur la colline.
