Retour de foire

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



Dans le crépuscule d’automne
Ils reviennent, les petits veaux.
Porcs, génisses, bœufs et chevaux
Suivent la route monotone.

De pauvres ânes qu’on bâtonne
Hi-hannent par monts et par vaux.
Dans le crépuscule d’automne
Ils reviennent les petits veaux.

Un troupeau bêlant qui s’étonne
D’aller par des chemins nouveaux
Creux et noirs comme des caveaux,
Se rassemble et se pelotonne,
Dans le crépuscule d’automne !
