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

La halte des heures
Language: French (Français) 
Immenses mots dits doucement
Grand soleil les volets fermés
Un grand navire au fil de l’eau
Ses voiles partagent le vent

Bouche bien faite pour cacher
Une autre bouche et le serment
De ne rien dire qu’à deux voix
Du secret qui raye la nuit

Le seul rêve des innocents
Un seul murmure un seul matin
Et les saisons à l’unisson
Colorant de neige et de feu

Une foule enfin réunie.
