by Maurice Rollinat (1846 - 1903)

La Chanson de la Perdrix grise
Language: French (Français) 
La chanson de la perdrix grise
Ou la complainte des grillons,
C’est la musique des sillons
Que j’ai toujours si bien comprise.

Sous l’azur, dans l’air qui me grise,
Se mêle au vol des papillons
La chanson de la perdrix grise
Ou la complainte des grillons.

Et l’ennui qui me martyrise
Me darde en vain ses aiguillons,
Puisqu’à l’abri des chauds rayons
J’entends sur l’aile de la brise
La chanson de la perdrix grise.

Confirmed with Maurice Rollinat, Dans les brandes, poèmes et rondels, Charpentier, 1883, pages 208-209.
