by Georges Gabory (1899 - 1978)

Puisque Vénus notre marâtre
Language: French (Français) 
Puisque Vénus notre marâtre
De ses doigts divins n'a mouché
Que la chandelle de Psyché
Ou le faux nez de Cléopâtre,

Allons cueillir la mandragore
Au jardin des fruits défendus,
Beaux corps sans âme, enfants perdus,
Tendres colombes de Gomorrhe :

Voici mon péché solitaire...
Petits amours, clansez en rond...
Que de paradis s'ouvriront
Dans le ciel rose de Cythère.
