by Ambroise Bétourné (1795 - 1838)

La petite sorcière
Language: French (Français) 
Sans le vouloir, dans nos campagnes,
J’inspire les plus doux transports.
Aussi voyez-vous mes compagnes
M’accusant de jeter des sorts !

   Pour enchanter et plaire
   Modeste, sans apprêts,
   La petite sorcière
   N’a pas d’autres secrets.

Puis écoutez, je vais vous dire
Comme on fixe les amoureux :
Plaignez sans cesse leur martyre
Sans jamais céder à leurs vœux.
