Quatre Monocantes

Song Cycle by Florent Schmitt (1870 - 1958)

1. Prise aux réseaux d'or  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Prise aux réseaux d'or
Des colliers d'agate,
Châtelaine ou chatte,
Que rêver encor?
Le vitrail endort
La nuit de ses nattes...
Prise aux réseaux d'or
Des colliers d'agate,
En son château fort
D'émail écarlate
Sa pâleaur se flatte
De perles, pour lors,
Plein les réseaux d'or.

2. La petite princesse
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
La petite princesse 
Guette
En son verger
Le pronostic du train 
(S'il vient 
De l'Étranger.)

Duquel train rogue sautera le cavalier
Frugal 
Qui sait souffrir,
Mourir 
Ou consoler.

Guidera son cheval
Près de la source blanche.
C'est une espèce d'aile
Frêle
Et puis... tremblante.

Les fleurs, cet âge est sans pitié
Diront qu'il est 
Emprunté
Comme un petit tambour en congé.

Il parlera très fort,
Il cueillera des fleurs
Qui meurent, sans douleur,
Et la princesse petite sœur
Prendra peur.
