La bonne chanson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the poem collection by Paul Verlaine. For the Canadian publishing and record company, see La Bonne Chanson.
La bonne chanson is a collection of poems written by Paul Verlaine from the winter of 1869 to the spring of 1870. Twenty-one poems belong to this group, and are addressed to sixteen-year-old Mathilde Mauté de Fleurville, who he married in the same year (1870).
The poems are a proclamation of love, using very direct terms, and some references to nature.
Between 1892 and 1894, Gabriel Fauré arranged nine of these poems as a song cycle under the same name.
