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

Le front aux vitres comme font les...
Language: French (Français) 
Le front aux vitres comme font les veilleurs de chagrin
Ciel dont j'ai dépassé la nuit
Plaines toutes petites dans mes mains ouvertes
Dans leur double horizon inerte indifférent
Le front aux bitres comme font les veilleurs de chagrin
Je te cherche par-delà l'attente
Par-delà moi-même
Et je ne sais plus tant je t'aime
Lequel de nous deux est absent.
