by Charles Koechlin (1867 - 1950)

Le cyclone 
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
»Un cyclone ?«
La mer était calme, 
Et le soleil radieux.
Un cyclone ?
Ce n'était qu'un prétexte inventé par le fidèle Jean,
Le merveilleux et ridicule serviteur.
Un cyclone ?

»Il n'y en avait pas plus que dans le creux de la main« dites-vous ?
Mais le cyclone était dans ton cœur 
Où le sang bouillonnait avec frénésie.
Et comme cela se trouve !
La circulation du sang fut découverte par un savant d'Angleterre,
Qui s'appelait Harvey, 
ô Lilian !
