by René Kerdyk (1885 - 1945)

Tout un paysage en lignes blanches
Language: French (Français) 
Tout un paysage en lignes blanches,
L'octroi de Paris est un Foujita
Avec un oiseau sur une branche
D'un arbre comme il y en a des tas.

Un réverbère est encore en vie
Sur la grille qui coupe du jour
Et dans cette petite aube en sourdine
C'est le passage des topinambours.

Tout un monde somnolent s'avance
En cette lumière d'échafaud
Tandis que le gabelou de la lance
Perce le secret des tombereaux.
