by Léon-Émile Petitdidier (1839 - 1927), as Émile Blémont

Pour toute fortune
Language: French (Français) 
Pour toute fortune,
J'ai mon teint vermeil,
L'argent de la lune
Et l'or du soleil.

J'ai, pour toutes peries,
La rosée en pleurs,
Qu'aux chansons des meries
Égrèment les fleurs.

Faute de turquoises,
Je vous prends gratis,
Nymphes villageoises,
Vos myosotis !

Je cueille, pareille
Aux grands financiers,
Mes boucles d'oreille
Sur les cerisiers.

Ô verte prairie,
Offre à mes amours,
Si je me marie,
Un lit de velours !

Que, dans la feuillées,
Les plus doux oiseaux,
A la mariée,
Chantent leurs morceaux ;

Et qu'un ciel sans voiles
Prête à mon bonheur
Ses blances étoiles 
Pour filles d'honneur !
