by Marc Monnier (c1827 - 1885)

La Capouane
Language: French (Français) 
Hier mon cœur tomba de ma fenêtre. 
La brune enfant passait par là peut-être... 

Mon pauvre cœur, où s'est-il envolé ? 
La brune enfant qui passait l'a volé. 

Elle à deux cœurs ainsi rien que pour elle, 
Et moi, pas un ! -- Rends-moi mon bien, la belle ! 

Ou plutôt non, ne me rends pas mon bien : 
Garde mon cœur, et donne-moi le tien !

Confirmed with Poésies de Marc-Monnier. Amoureuses -- Campagnardes -- Musiques -- Voyageuses -- Parisiennes -- Allemandes -- Napolitaines -- Aux unes et aux autres -- Les Morts, Genève, S. Jolimay-Desrogis ; Paris, Alphonse Lemerre, 1872, page 183.
