Le chant du coquelicot
Le chant du coquelicot, song of the poppy flower, sings the awakening of the red sun.
In the French etymology, the word coquelicot, meaning poppy flower, was « coquelicoq » and cames from the French word « coq », meaning cock. Into the fields, the poppy flower was confused with the red head of the familiar bird; solar animal yelling the rising sun at the beginning of the day.
