by Francis Jammes (1868 - 1938)

Si un beau jour — dans la forêt — tu...
Language: French (Français) 
Si un beau jour — dans la forêt — tu rencontrais —
dans la forêt — où fait son nid — le vieux pivert —
une maison — avec de clairs — contrevents verts —
dis-toi que dans — cette maison — fleurit la paix.

Si un beau jour — dans le jardin — ô fil vermeil ! —
dans le jardin — où les pavots — sont fatigués —
tu rencontrais — un pavillon — inhabité —
dis-toi que c’est la — que fleurit — le lourd sommeil.
