by Maurice Maeterlinck (1862 - 1949)

Elle avait trois couronnes d'or
Language: French (Français) 
Elle avait trois couronnes d'or,
À qui les donna-t-elle ?
Elle en donne une à ses parents:
Ont acheté trois réseaux d'or
Et l'ont gardée jusqu'au printemps.

Elle en donne une à ses amants:
Ont acheté trois rets d'argent
Et l'ont gardée jusqu'à l'automne

Elle en donne une à ses enfants:
Ont acheté trois nœuds de fer,
Et l'ont enchaînée tout l'hiver.
