by Jean-François-Victor Aicard (1848 - 1921)

Myro, pour sa cigale, a construit ce...
Language: French (Français) 
Myro, pour sa cigale, a construit ce tombeau ; 
Des larmes ont baigné son visage si beau, 
Quand Pluton appela sa cigale chérie.
En rameaux de bruyère et de sauge fleurie 
Un bûcher fut dressé par elle avec amour ; 
Tous ses jeunes amis sanglotaient alentour,
Et sur ce que la flamme a laissé de poussière
Ils ont jeté des fleurs de sauge et de bruyère.
