Three French Hens This was first published in a children's book "Mirth without Mischief" from 1870 3 main varieties of chickens associated with France at the time: Crevecoeur, Houdans and La Fleche. |
Here's a french themed one:
The life that I have
Is all that I have,
And the life that I have is yours.
The love that I have
Of the life that I have,
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have,
A rest I shall have,
Yet death will be but a pause.
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass,
Will be yours and yours and yours.

2 Turtle doves
And
A Partridge in a Pear Tree
