by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard

Belle et ressemblante
Language: French (Français) 
Un visage à la fin du jour,
Un berceau dans les feuilles mortes du jour.
Un bouquet de pluit nue,
Tout soleil caché,
Toute source des sources au fond de l'eau.
Tout miroir des miroirs brisés.
Un visage dans les balances du silence.
Un caillou parmi d'autres cailloux
Pour les frondes
Des dernieres lueurs du jour.
Un visage semblable
à tous les visages oubliés.
Un berceau dans les feuilles mortes,
Un bouquet de pluie nue.
Tout soleil caché.
