by Maurice Rollinat (1846 - 1903)

Les Châtaignes
Language: French (Français) 
— « Oh ! chère mignonne, tu saignes ! »
Et je suçai son joli doigt,
Comme tout amoureux le doit.
Gare aux piqûres de châtaignes !

Libres des grands et petits peignes,
Ses cheveux flottaient dans l’air froid.
— « Oh ! chère mignonne, tu saignes ! »
Et je suçai son joli doigt.

— « Fi ! c’est mal qu’ainsi tu m’étreignes. »
C’était l’heure où le jour décroît.
— « Laisse-moi bien vite ! on nous voit ! »
— « Ce n’est pas quelqu’un que tu craignes !
« Oh ! chère mignonne, tu saignes. »

Confirmed with Maurice Rollinat, Dans les brandes, poèmes et rondels, Paris, Charpentier, 1883, pages 179-180.
