Lune d'octobre

Au long de ces canaux
Le clair de lune
Des lagunes
Danse dans l'eau dans l'eau...

Aux soupirs assoupis
Des mandolines,
En sourdine
Meurent les lys, les lys, les lys,
Les lys sur mon perron...
Les feuilles mortes
Sur l'eau morte
Pleurent ton nom...

Un friselis tout blanc
Clôt le silence...
Somnolences
D'anciens jardins,
D'anciens jardins lassants
Bleuis de lune,
La beguine
Des blans bassins.

Au long des vieux canaux
Le clair de lune
Des lagunes
Danse dans l'eau, dans l'eau...
dans l'eau...
