by Max Jacob (1876 - 1944)

Il se peut qu'un rêve étrange
Language: French (Français) 
Il se peut qu’un rêve étrange
Vous ait occupée ce soir,
Vous avez cru voir un ange
Et c’était votre miroir.
 
Dans sa fuite Éléonore
A défait ses longs cheveux
Pour dérober à l’aurore
Le doux objet de mes vœux.
 
À quelque mari fidèle
Il ne faudra plus penser.
Je suis amant, j’ai des ailes
Je vous apprends à voler.
 
Que la muse du mensonge
Apporte au bout de vos doigts
Ce dédain qui n’est qu’un songe
Du berger plus fier qu’un roi.
