by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud

Théâtre
Language: French (Français) 
Je rêve un théâtre de chambre,
Dont Breughel peindrait les volets,
Shakspeare, les pâles palais,
Et Watteau, les fonds couleur d’ambre.

Par les frileux soirs de décembre,
En chauffant mes doigts violets,
Je rêve un théâtre de chambre,
Dont Breughel peindrait les volets.

Émoustillés par le gingembre,
On y verrait les Crispins laids
Ouater leurs décharnés mollets,
Pour Colombine qui se cambre.
Je rêve un théâtre de chambre.

Confirmed with Albert Giraud, Héros et Pierrots, Librairie Fischbacher (Collection des poètes français de l’étranger), 1898, pages 76-77.
