Aux rayons du couchant, le long de cette ornière,
Je vous vois, peupliers revêtus de lumière!
Dans la pénombre, oiseaux, votre cri répété,
Pour la dernière fois a salué l'été!

Va, brode l'horizon, brume délicieuse,
D'émeraude et d'onyx, poussière précieuse…
Je veux me disperser ce soir dans le malheur
De l'automne qui vient, de l'automne en sa fleur…
