by Henri Blaze de Bury (1813 - 1888)

La Marguerite du poète
Language: French (Français) 
La Marguerite du poète
N'a pas de couronne à sa tête ;
Tout au plus si les jours de fête
Elle met un épi de blé.
Elle va seule par la ville,
Porte au puits sa cruche d'argile
Rentre à la maison, coud et file, 
Et chante le Roi de Thulé.
Mais vous, vous avez dès l'aurore 
Trouvé, tout en venant l'eclore, 
La couronne en votre berceau. 
Vous êtes faites à la gloire :
Ce n'est pas vous que la mémoire 
De l'écrin trouvé dans l'armoire 
Éveille la nuit en sursaut.
