Les Fils de la Vierge

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

Bons petits cheveux si légers,
Jolis petits fils de la Vierge,
Vivent l’air pur qui vous héberge
Et la route où vous voyagez !

Suspendez-vous dans les vergers,
Flottez sur l'onde et sur la berge,
Bons petits cheveux si légers,
Jolis petits fils de la Vierge !

Les chevrettes et les bergers,
Le peuplier droit comme un cierge,
Le vieux château, la vieille auberge,
Tout sourit quand vous voltigez,
Bons petits cheveux si légers !
