CHRISTMAS.
Goodbye Christmas—
It has passed!
Christmas has gone—
It will return!
His wife on a horse,
His small children
Who are leaving
In tears.
Little Colin
Who carries the wine,
Little Colinette
Who carries the cake.[1]
Goodbye Kings—
Until twelve months from now!
Twelve months having passed—
Kings, return!
HAVE YOU SEEN THE CAP?
Have you seen the cap, the cap,
Have you seen the cap of father Bugeaud?
It's made, it's made, the cap,
It's made of camel-hair.[2]
