by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Arlequinade
Language: French (Français)
Arlequin porte un arc-en-ciel De rouges et vertes soieries, Et semble, dans l’or des féeries, Un serpent artificiel. Ayant pour but essentiel Le mensonge et les fourberies, Arlequin porte un arc-en-ciel De rouges et vertes soieries. A Cassandre jaune de fiel Il dénombre ses seigneuries En Espagne, et ses armoiries : Car sur fond d’azur et de miel Arlequin porte un arc-en-ciel.
Confirmed with Albert Giraud, Héros et Pierrots, Librairie Fischbacher (Collection des poètes français de l’étranger), 1898, pages 91-92.
