by Nicolas-Germain Léonard (1744 - 1793)

Autrefois la jeune Annette
Language: French (Français) 
Autrefois la jeune Annette,
S'en alloit sur nos côteaux,
En filant sa quenouillette,
Et répétant aux échos :
Je ne veux  point d'amourette,
Ne songeons qu'à nos troupeaux.

Annette aujourd'hui soupire ;
L'amour trouble son repos.
Depuis qu'il l'a su séduire,
Elle a laissé ses fuseaux,
Et toujours il faut lui dire,
Songez donc à vos troupeaux.

Confirmed with Nicolas-Germain Léonard, Idylles et poëmes champêtres par M. LEONARD, 1780, page 204. Above the poem it says "Sur l'air de la Romance du Tonnelier".
