Lune moqueuse
Language: French (Français)
La Lune dessine une corne Dans la transparence du bleu. A Cassandre on joua ce jeu De lui dérober son tricorne. Le vieillard se promène morne, Ramenant son dernier cheveu ; La Lune dessine une corne Dans la transparence du bleu. Une fantastique licorne, Dont les naseaux lancent du feu, Soudain mouille de son émeu Cassandre assis sur une borne. La Lune dessine une corne.
