Roses et papillons, la tombe nous rassemble Tôt ou tard. Pourquoi l'attendre, dis ? Veux-tu pas vivre ensemble Quelque part ? Quelque part dans les airs, si c'est là que se berce Ton essor ! Aux champs, si c'est aux champs que ton calice verse Son trésor ! Où tu voudras ! qu'importe ! oui, que tu sois haleine Ou couleur, Papillon rayonnant, corolle à demi pleine, Aile ou fleur ! Vivre ensemble, d'abord ! c'est le bien nécessaire Et réel ! Après on peut choisir au hasard, ou la terre Ou le ciel !

Roses and butterflies, the grave gathers us sooner or later. Why wait, you say? Do not you want to live together somewhere? Somewhere in the air, if it is there your growth is cradled! In the fields, if it is into the fields that your chalice pours its treasure! Wherever you like! What does it matter? Yes, that you are breath or color, radiant butterfly, corolla half opened, wing or flower! Live together, first! This is good and necessary! Afterwards one can choose at random, on the earth or heaven!
