Le grillon des foyers
Language: French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
En hiver, Quand la bûche chante Dans la cheminée, Le petit grillon des foyers Vient écouter la chanson légère Et si touchante Que dit le bois qui meurt. A son tour, le grillon entonne Son petit couplet monotone. Puis à l'unisson, Tandis que la flamme s'irise La bûche d'or et le noir grillon Improvisent Un petit duo sans tapage, Un petit duo de regrets Où il y a des odeurs de feuillages Et le souvenir de la forêt.
