Souper sur l'eau
Language: French (Français)
En d'alanguissantes yoles Au pavillon de bleu turquin, Pierrot, Colombine, Arlequin Font saigner les rouges fioles. Les femmes ont de lucioles Diamanté leur casaquin, En d'alanguissantes yoles Au pavillon de bleu turquin. Enrichissant ces fanfioles, La lune luit comme un sequin, Et sous un rose baldaquin Madrigalisent les violes, En d'alanguissantes yoles.
Confirmed with Albert Giraud, Héros et Pierrots, Paris, Librairie Fischbacher (Collection des poètes français de l’étranger), 1898, pages 171-172.
