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.

Moquerie
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Der Mond gleicht einem blassen Horn am duftig blauen Himmelszelt. Cassander mit dem Kahlkopf schaut mißtrauisch zu ihm auf. Verstimmt schiebt er im Weitergehn sein letztes Haar mehr in die Stirne. Der Mond gleicht einem blassen Horn im duftgen himmelsblau. Mit ängstlich scheuem Aug' bewacht er Columbine, seine Frau, die neben ihm an seinem Arm oft nach Pierrot zur Seite schielt. Der Mond bleicht einem Horn.
