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

Elle va s’éveiller d’un rêve noir et...
Language: French (Français) 
Elle va s’éveiller d’un rêve noir et bleu
Elle va se lever de la nuit grise et mauve
Sa jambe est lisse et son pied nu
L’audace fait son premier pas

Au son d’un chant prémédité
Tout son corps passe en reflets en éclats
Son corps pavé de pluie armé de parfums tendres
Démêle le fuseau matinal de sa vie.
