Beyond novels and stories, he also penned lyrics, the most notable being "La Chanson de Musette," hailed as 'a tear that has become a pearl of poetry.' This seminal work has served as the inspiration for numerous operas, operettas, and musicals.

V skvělém tomto díle podařilo se autorovi zvěčniti život pařížských umělců v prvé polovici devatenáctého století se všemi jeho strasťmi, bezstarostností mládí a snadností, s jakou tento nárůdek překonával svízele bojů životních i uměleckých.
S neobyčejným humorem, vervou, duchaplností a originalitou vylíčil zde autor život pařížských studentů, literátů a umělců, kteří neměli dosud štěstí či talent, aby se domohli uznání a postavení.
