8. Les grenades  [sung text not yet checked]
Dures grenades entr'ouvertes Cédant à l'excès de vos grains, Je crois voir des fronts souverains Éclatés de leurs découvertes ! Si les soleils par vous subis, Ô grenades entre-bâillées Vous ont fait d'orgueil travaillées Craquer les cloisons de rubis, Et que si l'or sec de l'écorce À la demande d'une force Crève en gemmes rouges de jus, Cette lumineuse rupture Fait rêver une âme que j'eus De sa secrète architecture.

Ni vu ni connu Je suis le parfum Vivant et défunt Dans le vent venu ! Ni vu ni connu, Hasard ou génie ? À peine venu La tâche est finie ! Ni lu ni compris ? Aux meilleurs esprits Que d'erreurs promises ! Ni vu ni connu, Le temps d'un sein nu Entre deux chemises !
