by Léon-Paul Fargue (1876 - 1947)

Divers objets
Language: French (Français) 
Le petit restaurant malingre 
Tiède comme un 
Baiser malsain 
Je sais, je sais l'aimer 
Autant que les idées. 

Sur la source dormante 
Où l'enfant s'est perdu 
Où l'enfant s'est troublé, 

Vois l'étoile distraite 
S'étiole impudente 
S'étiole égarée. 

C'est l'écolier chassé 
Qui pleure dans les blés 
Car l'oiseau qu'il désire 
Ne veut pas se poser. 

Le thécla vole bleu 
Gauchement sur le pré 
Tout ceci pour montrer 
Ce qui me rend heureux 
Ce qui me rend troublé.

Confirmed with Léon-Paul Fargue, Tancrède, Paris, 1911, page 47.
