by Maurice Rollinat (1846 - 1903)

Le petit Renardeau
Language: French (Français) 
Au bord de l’étang, le petit renardeau
Suit à pas de loup sa mère la renarde,
Qui s’en va guettant, sournoise et goguenarde,
Le canard sauvage ou bien la poule d’eau.

— Des nuages bruns couvrent d’un noir bandeau
Le soleil sanglant que l’âpre nuit poignarde.
Au bord de l’étang, le petit renardeau
Suit à pas de loup sa mère la renarde.

Sur un bois flottant qui lui sert de radeau,
Soudain la rôdeuse en tremblant se hasarde ;
Et moi, curieux et ravi, je regarde,
Caché par les joncs comme par un rideau,
Au bord de l’étang le petit renardeau.

Confirmed with Maurice Rollinat, Dans les brandes, poèmes et rondels, Paris, Charpentier, 1883, pages 212-213.
