by Emma Coeckelbergh (1852 - 1921)

L'oracle en défaut
Language: French (Français) 
Amante des gazons, gentille marguerite,
Laisse-moi consulter tes pétales d'argent.
M'aime-t-il ? un peu ? beaucoup ? Oh ! vite,
Pâquerette, dis-moi qu'il m'aime tendrement !

Pas du tout ... Ah ! mon Dieu ! Tu n'es qu'une menteuse,
Ou tu voudrais peut-être un peu rire de moi ;
De ce que tu me dis je suis peu soucieuse,
Car ... car ... car je sais mieux que toi !
