Por las arboledas del Tamarit han venido los perros de plomo a esperar que se caigan los ramos, a esperar que se quiebren ellos solos. El Tamarit tiene un manzano con una manzana de sollozos. Un ruiseñor apaga los suspiros y un faisán los ahuyenta por el polvo. Pero los ramos son alegres, los ramos son como nosotros. No piensan en la lluvia y se han dormido, como si fueran árboles, de pronto. Sentados con el agua en las rodillas dos valles esperaban al otoño. La penumbra con paso de elefante empujaba las ramas y los troncos. Por las arboledas de Tamarit hay muchos niños de velado rostro a esperar que se caigan mis ramos, a esperar que se quiebren ellos solos.
G. Crumb sets line 11

Parmi les bosquets du Tamarit les chiens de plomb sont venus pour attendre que les branches tombent, pour attendre qu'elles se brisent seules. Le Tamarit a un pommier avec une pomme de sanglots. Un rossignol calme les soupirs et un faisan les chasse dans la poussière. Mais les branches sont joyeuses, les branches sont comme nous. Elles ne pensent pas à la pluie et s'endorment, comme si elles étaient des arbres, tout d'un coup. Assises avec de l'eau jusqu'aux genoux deux vallées attendaient l'automne. La pénombre avec un pas d'éléphant poussait les branches et les troncs. Parmi les bosquets du Tamarit il y a beaucoup d'enfants le visage voilé pour attendre que mes branches tombent, pour attendre qu'elles se brisent seules.
