by Maurice Rollinat (1846 - 1903)
La biche brame au clair de lune
Language: French (Français)
La biche brame au clair de lune Et pleure à se fondre les yeux : Son petit faon délicieux A disparu dans la nuit brune. Pour raconter son infortune À la forêt de ses aïeux, La biche brame au clair de lune Et pleure à se fondre les yeux. Mais aucune réponse, aucune, À ses longs appels anxieux ! Et le cou tendu vers les cieux, Folle d’amour et de rancune, La biche brame au clair de lune.
