Analysis of Le Petit Chalet

Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)



Qu’elle aime ce petit chalet
D’une si plaisante carcasse !
Le fait est qu’il est si cocasse,
Qu’il m’inspire ce rondelet.

Dans ce castel humble et drôlet,
Elle brode, lit et fricasse.
Qu’elle aime ce petit chalet
D’une si plaisante carcasse !

Elle y goûte un bonheur complet.
Et puis, qu’elle paix efficace !
Personne ici qui la tracasse,
Elle y vit comme ça lui plaît.
Qu’elle aime ce petit chalet !
