by Paul Fort (1872 - 1960)

Le chasseur perdu en forêt
Language: French (Français) 
Quand le son du cor s'endort,
gai chasseur ne tarde! --
Déjà les sentiers regardent
avec l'oeil creux de la mort
passer l'avalanche
des hauts chevaux sous les branches.
Cavalier,
Quel beau squelette
enfourche ta bête ?
Adieu chasse, adieu galops ! --
Alors s'éveille indistincte
puis s'enfle la plainte
de l'étang rouge aux oiseaux.
