by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard

Luire
Language: French (Français) 
                  Terre irréprochablement cultivée,
                         Miel d'aube, soleil en fleurs,
      Coureur tenant encore par un fil au dormeur.
                            (Nœud par intelligences)
                          Et le jetant sur son épaule :
                         « Il n'a jamais été plus neuf,
                           Il n'a jamais été si lourd. »
                             Usure, il sera plus léger,
                                                 Utile.
                               Clair soleil d'été avec :
              Sa chaleur, sa douceur, sa tranquillité.
                                               Et, vite,
Les porteurs de fleurs en l'air touchent de la terre.

Confirmed with Paul Éluard, Capitale de la douleur, Paris: Gallimard, 1926, Page 33.
