by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud

La Lanterne
Language: French (Français) 
La claire et joyeuse lanterne,
Où vibre une langue de feu,
Pierrot la porte au bout d’un pieu
Pour ne pas choir dans la citerne.

A tout coin de rue il lanterne
Et sur le sol dépose un peu
La claire et joyeuse lanterne
Où vibre une langue de feu.

Il ne la voit plus, — se prosterne,
Allume le petit point bleu
De son allumette, et, par jeu,
Cherche d’un geste qui consterne
La claire et joyeuse lanterne.
