by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard

À l'ombre des arbres
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: French (Français) 
À l'ombre des arbres
Comme au temps des miracles,

Au milieu des hommes
Comme la plus belle femme,

Sans regrets, sans honte,
J'ai quitté le monde.

— Qu'avez-vous vu ?

— Une femme jeune, grande et belle
En robe noire très décolletée.
