by Maurice Rollinat (1846 - 1903)

Les Cloches
Language: French (Français) 
Les cloches de nos basiliques
S’esquivent tous les jeudis saints,
Et vont à Rome par essaims
Taciturnes et symboliques.

Quand leurs battants, à coups obliques,
Ont sonné de pieux tocsins,
Les cloches de nos basiliques
S’esquivent tous les jeudis saints,

Et dans leurs robes métalliques
À l’abri des regards malsains,
En rang, comme des capucins,
Elles s’en vont, mélancoliques,
Les cloches de nos basiliques.

Confirmed with Maurice Rollinat, Les Névroses, Paris, Fasquelle, 1917, page 45.
