by Jean Cocteau (1889 - 1963)

Language: French (Français) 
Des garçons en tricots rayées
poussent les vagues.

      Est-ce un orage ?

      Tout roucoule
      Et la baigneuse
Consulte le miroir des cieux.

      Valse,                 calèches d'émeraude.

Comme un rosier gonfle ses joues,

      encore un tour de manège.

Le printemps
au fond de la mer.
