La dentellière de Bayeux
 (Sung text for setting by F. Fourdrain)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
À quoi songe la dentellière,
Tandis que les sveltes fuseaux
Courent sur la trame légère
Où naissent des fleurs, des oiseaux ?

Courbée et la tête pâlie,
Le coeur à jamais soucieux,
Que voit-elle en sa rêverie 
La dentellière de Bayeux ?

Elle voit le beau capitaine,
Archer du Roy, amant d'un jour,
Parti pour la guerre lointaine
Au sondes fifres, du tambour.

À quoi songe la dentellière,
La dentellière de Bayeux ?
Ses mains sur la trame légère,
Au lieu de fleurs, brodent des yeux...

Les yeux du galant capitaine,
Archer du Roy, amant d'un jour.
Parti pour la guerre lointaine
Au sondes fifres, du tambour.
