Analysis of Ma Vieille Canne
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Ma vieille canne au bout ferré,
Tu supportes ma lassitude !
Avec toi, pas d’inquiétude
Où que mon pied soit empêtré !
Quand, pâle comme un déterré,
Je marche dans la solitude,
Ma vieille canne au bout ferré,
Tu supportes ma lassitude.
Aussi longtemps que je vivrai,
À toi ma franche gratitude !
Si pleine de sollicitude,
Tu guides mon pas effaré,
Ma vieille canne au bout ferré
