by Ant. Bigard Fabre

Jeunesse
Language: French (Français) 
Folle, rieuse,
Capricieuse,
Je fais la loi
Autour de moi !
Si je voyage,
Mon équipage
File souvent
Comme le vent.

Belle et hautaine,
Rien ne m'enchaîne,
Je crois sans peine
Être reine,
Car tout séjour
M'offre une cour !
D'amour suivie,
Narguant l'envie,
De cette vie
Gaîment j'oublie
Les faux serments
Et les tourments.

Mais la misère
Qui désespère
D'un sort prospère,
En sa prière
N'implore en vain
L'or de ma main.
Folle, rieuse etc.
