by Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau (1912 - 1943)

Rivière de mes yeux
Language: French (Français) 
Ô mes yeux ce matin grands comme des rivières
Ô l'onde de mes yeux prêts à tout refléter
Et cette fraîcheur sous mes paupières
Extraordinaire
Tout alentour des images que je vois

Comme un ruisseau rafraîchit l'Île
Et comme l'onde fluente entoure
La baigneuse ensoleillée.

Confirmed with Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau, Poésies; regards et jeux dans l'espace; les solitudes, Fides, 1972, p.39
