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 ?
