by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Je te vois, rose, livre entrebâillé
Language: French (Français) 
Je te vois, rose, livre entrebâillé,
qui contient tant de pages
de bonheur détaillé
qu'on ne lira jamais. Livre-mage,

qui s'ouvre au vent et qui peut être lu
les yeux fermés...,
dont les papillons sortent confus
d'avoir eu les mêmes idées.
