by Émile Pierre Ratez (1851 - 1934)

La main chaude
 (Sung text for setting by Ratez)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Sur les genoux de grande sœur
Jeanne a posé sa tête blonde,
Offrant sa petite main ronde
Aux tapes malgré la douleur.

Ah ! dit-elle, sœur bien aimée,
Combien je suis heureuse ici ;
Je voudrais m'endormir ainsi,
Tenant ta robe parfumée !

Mais aussi tôt le jeu pervers
Met son cher bonheur en ruines ;
Pas de rose qui n'ait d'épines,
Pas de  médaille sans revers.
