Le Petit Pierrot
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Entre les fils du télégraphe
Un pierrot siffle son refrain.
Le soir tombe : le ciel serein
Est vitreux comme une carafe.
Nul éclair ne met son paraphe
Au fond de l’horizon chagrin.
Entre les fils du télégraphe
Un pierrot siffle son refrain.
Comme il sautille ! Comme il piaffe !
Mais comme il file avec entrain,
Dès que la machine du train
Montre son grand cou de girafe
Entre les fils du télégraphe !
