Simile L'ombre fleurie des fleurs suspendues au printemps Le jour le plus court de l'année et la nuit esquimau L'agonie des visionnaires de l'automne L'odeur des roses la savante brûlure de l'ortie Étends des linges transparents Dans la clairière de tes yeux Montre les ravages du feu ses oeuvres d'inspiré Et le paradis de sa cendre Le phénomène abstrait luttant avec les aiguilles de la pendule Les blessures de la vérité les serments qui ne plient pas Montre-toi Tu peux sortir en robe de cristal Ta beauté continue Tes yeux versent des larmes des caresses des sourires Tes yeux sont sans secret Sans limites
Confirmed with Paul Éluard, Œuvres complètes, Vol. 1, Paris: Gallimard, 1968, Pages 367-368.

Feign The flowery shadow of the flowers suspended in the Spring The shortest day of the year and the Eskimo night The agony of Autumn visionaries The scent of roses the clever sting of the nettle Spread out transparent linens In the clearing of your eyes Show the ravages of fire its inspired works And the paradise of its ash The abstract phenomenon struggling with the hands of the clock. The wounds of truth the vows that do not bend Show yourself You can go out in a robe of crystal Your beauty goes on Your eyes shed tears caresses smiles Your eyes are without secrets Without limits
