Lisez bien les vieux dictionnaires
Language: French (Français) 
Lisez bien les vieux dictionnaires
Pleins de mots perdus
Signifiant des anciens mondes
Corsés d'idées disparues
Et dont l'arôme de poussière
Reste longtemps dans les narines
Signifiant des vieux professeurs
Qui font la chronique des anciens mondes
D'un vocabulaire corsé de mots perdus
Avec l'aide du vieux dictionnaire.
L'atmosphère est corsé d'un arôme de poussière
Comme un vocabulaire perdu
Qu'on trouve dans les vieux dictionnaires
Que vous devez bien lire.
