Analysis of La Mariée
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
La mariée est toute pâle,
Aussi pâle que son bouquet,
Lorsque la danse et le banquet
Ont cessé dans la grande salle.
Le père sourit d’un air mâle,
Et la mère a l’œil inquiet.
La mariée est toute pâle,
Aussi pâle que son bouquet.
— Plainte exquise, harmonieux râle,
Interminable et doux hoquet !
Aussi, quand le matin coquet
Montre sa rose et son opale,
La mariée est toute pâle.
