Septain

Grands jardins, parcs ombreux,
poétique domaine, séjour vraiment royal,
doux coin de paradis
où l'allée au sentier succède,
et partout mène au massifs
parfumés aux buissons pleins de nids.

Vous êtes bien heureux d'avoir
pour chatelaine une femme au coeur
d'or et digne du blason
qu'on entrevoit taillé dans le grave fronton.

by Georges Collin
