by Paul Jean Toulet (1867 - 1920)

C'était sur un chemin crayeux
Language: French (Français) 
C'était sur un chemin crayeux
    Trois châtes de Provence
Qui s'en allaient d'un pas qui danse
    Le soleil dans les yeux.

Une enseigne, au bord de la route,
    -- Azur et jaune d'œuf --,
Annonçait : Vin de Châteauneuf,
    Tonnelles, Casse-croûte.

Et, tandis que les suit trois fois
    Leur ombre violette,
Noir pastou, sous la gloriette,
    Toi, tu t'en fous : tu bois...

C'était trois châtes de Provence,
    Des oliviers poudreux,
Et le mistral brûlant aux yeux
    Dans un azur immense.
