by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Petit Ange en porcelaine
Language: French (Français)
Petit Ange en porcelaine, s'il arrive que l'on te toise, nous t'avions quand l'année fut pleine, coiffé d'une framboise. Ça nous semblait tellement futil de te mettre ce bonnet rouge, mais depuis lors tout bouge sauf ton tendre tortil. Il est desséché, mais il tient, on dirait parfois qu'il embaume; couronné d'un fantôme, ton petit front se souvient.
