Chanson de la Sirène Rousse
Language: French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
Je vois de Bellac l'abbatiale triste, Le Mail et ce lac (qui n'existe!) Et je vois encore l'automne en personne Sonner dans un cor Qui ne sonne; La foire d'été; Et Tante Solange haïr l'invité Qui ne mange; Ma jeunesse avec Qui, Dieu sait sans charme! Tire d'un coeur sec Cette larme!
