by Arthur Justin Léon Leclère (1874 - 1966), as Tristan Klingsor

Le souci, la rose ou la marjolaine
Language: French (Français) 
Le souci, la rose ou la marjolaine, 
   Iseult, Elise ou Yolaine, 
Le souci, la rose ou la marjolaine 
   Que vos pages si gentils 
Au lac, au bois ou par la plaine 
Furent cueillir, -- où donc sont-ils ? 

Et ceux de France, de Flandre ou de Touraine,
   Iseult, Elise ou Yolaine,
Et ceux de France, de Flandre ou de Touraine, 
   Vos trois pages si gentils 
Qui portaient le faucon, la fleur ou la traîne
Derrière vous, -- où donc sont-ils ? 

Mais la douce, la jolie ou la vilaine,
   Iseult, Elise ou Yolaine,
Mais la douce, la jolie ou la vilaine 
   Aux corsages à dentelles 
Où le souci, la rose ou la marjolaine 
Furent mariés, -- où donc sont-elles ?
