by Jean Cocteau (1889 - 1963)
Sobre las olas
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.
