Is it from this postcard?
http://cgi.ebay.com/LILI-ET-SON-CHIEN_W0QQitemZ280440886256QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFR_JG_Collections_Cartes_postales?hash=item414b9453f0
There's a machine translation there but it doesn't make too much sense!
Médor is a generic francophone dog name (like Rover )
So maybe it's something like this:
Lili and her dog
Oh the gentle calm of animals !
for all the Lili(s) who fall asleep,
for these little fair heads
let's wish for a new dog

It's one of a series of postcards featuring Lili and "Medor". Here's another one:

What year is this card? It's fascinating!

"douceur calme" would translate better as calm softness or sweetness...calm is the adjective here.

Isn't the whole ~ seeming ~ nature of that card a little macabre?
I wonder if it's something to do with a series, portraying a 'known' story?
GAITES (Alverstoke / Bath Pre 1850)
CURTIS (Portsmouth & 1800's Berkshire).
BURGE (Dorset, Somerset and Hampshire)
HUNTLEY (Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, 'Surroundings')
