Ne me console pas
Language: French (Français)
Ne me console pas cela est inutile … si mes rêves qui étaient ma seule fortune quittent mon seuil obscur où s’accroupit la brume je saurai me résoudre et saurai ne rien dire. Un jour tout simplement, ne me console pas, devant ma porte ensoleillée je m’étendrai on dira aux enfants qu’il faut parler plus bas si délaissé de ma tristesse je mourrai.
