by Paul Gilson (1904 - 1963)

Post‑card
Language: French (Français) 
     En vacances du cœur
Êtes-vous morte ou vive et vous verrai-je ailleurs

Rien ne me retient plus dans le désert des pierres
je réponds pour mémoire à l’appel de mon nom

Mon amour rendez-moi ma campagne première
où l’oiseau du dimanche avait toujours raison
