by Paul Jean Toulet (1867 - 1920)

Tout ainsi que ces pommes
Language: French (Français) 
Tout ainsi que ces pommes
  De pourpre et d'or
Qui mûrissent aux bords
  Où fut Sodome ;

Comme ces fruits encore
  Que Tantalus,
Dans les sombres palus,
  Crache, et dévore ;

Mon cœur, si doux à prendre
  Entre tes mains,
Ouvre-le, ce n'est rien.
  Qu'un peu de cendre.
