by Philippe Huc (1889 - 1941), as Tristan Derème

Comme j'allais couvert de la poussière...
Language: French (Français) 
Comme j'allais couvert de la poussière du voyage
Heurtant aux pierres mes sandales
Vous étiez au balcon que les glycines automnales
Enguirlandent de leur feuillage
Et vous étiez si calme, si calme parmi l'ombre
Votre visage était si pur
En ce crépuscule d'octobre
Que je sentais sur mon épaule
Se nouer un manteau d'azur
Et que dans ma poitrine
En secouant des étincelles
Mon coeur ivre battait des ailes
