lyrics

Madame et Pauline Roland,
Charlotte, Théroigne, Lucile,
Presque Jeanne d’Arc, étoilant
Le front de la foule imbécile,
Nom des cieux, cœur divin qu’exile
Cette espèce de moins que rien,
France bourgeoise au dos facile,
Louise Michel est très bien.
Elle aime le Pauvre âpre et franc
Ou timide, elle est la faucille
Dans le blé mûr pour le pain blanc
Du Pauvre, et la sainte Cécile
Et la Muse rauque et gracile
Du Pauvre et son ange gardien
À ce simple, à cet indocile.
Louise Michel est très bien.
Gouvernements de maltalent,
Mégathérium ou bacille,
Soldat brut, robin insolent,
Ou quelque compromis fragile,
Géant de boue aux pieds d’argile,
Tout cela son courroux chrétien
L’écrase d’un mépris agile.
Louise Michel est très bien.
Citoyenne ! votre évangile
On meurt pour ! c’est l’Honneur !
Et bien loin des Taxil et des Bazile,
Louise Michel est très bien.
