Au jardin , dans le clair de lune
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Au jardin , dans le clair de lune , notre servante racle avec tant d'ardeur une carpe dorée , que ses écailles volent de tous côtés, et sans doute jusqu'au ciel. Ces belles étoiles , là-haut , doivent être les écailles de notre poisson.
