by Paul-Jean Toulet (1867 - 1920)
Plus oultre
Language: French (Français)
Au mois d'aimer, au mois de Mai,
Quand [l'on]2 va cherchant sous les branches
Le bien-aimé,
Son jupon, tendu sur les hanches,
Me fait songer à l'aile blanche
Du voilier :
Mers qui battez au pied des mornes
Et dont un double Pilier
Dressa les bornes.
