by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Parodie
Language: French (Français)
Des aiguilles à tricoter Dans sa vieille perruque grise, La duègne, en casaquin cerise, Ne se lasse de marmotter. Sous la treille elle vient guetter Pierrot dont sa chair est éprise, Des aiguilles à tricoter Dans sa vieille perruque grise. Soudain elle entend éclater Les sifflets pointus de la brise : La lune rit de la méprise, Et ses rais semblent imiter Des aiguilles à tricoter.
