Laissez l’ombre envahir lentement le salon Où vous allez chanter la prière que j’aime. Celle-là que j’aimais petit enfant, la même Dans la même langueur du crépuscule blond. Mon Dieu, je voudrais voir les choses comme au temps Où, dans les soirs longs à mourir, le cœur s’éveille, Et que les fleurs et que les brises soient pareilles À celles qui m’ont fait découvrir le printemps.
