Analysis of La Rainette
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Ma bonne petite rainette,
À toi ce rondel amical.
— Le vent hurle comme un chacal
Autour de notre maisonnette.
— Elle te guigne, la minette,
Du haut d’un vieux meuble bancal.
Ma bonne petite rainette,
À toi ce rondel amical.
Ta monotone chansonnette
N’a pourtant rien de musical ;
Mais tu me plais dans ce bocal,
Sur ton échelle mignonnette,
Ma bonne petite rainette.
