by Tristan Corbière (1845 - 1875)

Mirliton
Language: French (Français) 
Dors d'amour, méchant ferreur de cigales !
Dans le chiendent qui te couvrira
La cigale aussi pour toi chantera,
Joyeuse, avec ses petites cymbales.

La rosée aura des pleurs matinales ;
Et le muguet blanc fait un joli drap...
Dors d'amour, méchant ferreur de cigales.
Pleureuses en troupeau passeront les rafales...

La Muse camarde ici posera,
Sur ta bouche noire encore elle aura
Ces rimes qui vont aux moelles des pâles...
Dors d'amour, méchant ferreur de cigales.
