by Wilhelm Albert Włodzimierz Apolinary Kostrowicki (1880 - 1918), as Guillaume Apollinaire

J’entends parfois une voix quiète...
Language: French (Français) 
J’entends parfois une voix quiète d’absente
   Dire de petits mots
Qui font que j’aimerai chaque douleur présente
   Et tout l’espoir des prochains maux

Mots finissant en el comme le nom des anges
   Ô puérilités
Le ciel que l’on médite et le miel que l’on mange
   Fraîcheur du miel ô ciel d’été
