by Samuel Rosenstock (1896 - 1963), as Tristan Tzara

ils amassent des minutes de cailloux
Language: French (Français) 
ils amassent des minutes de cailloux
qui valent les années de la peine
une flûte perlée de joujoux anciens
déborde de l'eau mémorable
un pâtre une chambre
un enfant à table
c'est le temps du diable les vacances finies
Anaïne et Intrisaire
ont mis leurs rires en commun
et se ruinent au jeu de la semaine
de l'eau coule encore sur leurs cailloux mémorables
creuse le soleil au plus profond de leur bruit
sur la piste cependant intacte
le silence à son poste
et au-delà des hirondelles
la feuille finit de se croire de ce monde
