by Émile Nelligan (1879 - 1941)

Marches funèbres
Language: French (Français) 
J'écoute en moi des voix funèbres
Clamer transcendentalement,
Quand sur un motif allemand
Se rythment ces marches célèbres.


Au frisson fou de mes vertèbres
Si je sanglote éperdument,
C'est que j'entends des voix funèbres
Clamer transcendentalement.


Tel un troupeau spectral de zèbres
Mon rêve rôde étrangement;
Et je suis hanté tellement
Qu'en moi toujours, dans mes ténèbres,
J'entends geindre des voix funèbres.
