Les rivières riaient, de village en village, Déplaçant les reflets, mêlant les paysages Au plus pur de leurs eaux, Puis les emportaient tous, les jetaient pêle-mêle Au milieu de la mer Et les toits des maisons, les bouleaux naufragés Et quelques baldaquins Qui n'étaient que mirages Rassasiaient fort mal le ventre des requins.
