Mélisande au fuseau Il ne faut plus filer : Au soir entends trembler Une chanson d'oiseau. Est-ce d'un damoiseau D'un page ou d'un varlet ? Mélisande au fuseau Il ne faut plus filer : Je ne sais s'il fut beau Comme une rose ou laid Ou sage, ou fol, ou sot ; Mais depuis n'a filé Mélisande au fuseau.
