by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard
Dormeur
Language: French (Français)
L’ombre du cœur vers le matin,
En hâte,
Au repos.
Rien n’enveloppe en son sommeil
Ce cœur plus gonflé que les vitres.
Ombre, nuit et sommeil.
Un cœur se débarrasse
De tout ce qu’il ignore.
Confirmed with Paul Éluard, Œuvres complètes, Vol. 1, Paris: Gallimard, 1968, Pages 61-62.
