… Je ne veux Presque rien
Seulement que mes yeux puissent suivre
Le reflet fugace des sternes
Sur les eaux douces du grand fleuve,
Et poursuivre leurs ombres qui s’élèvent
Au-dessus de la toue qui, tranquille, attend
Entre les brumes des matins d’automne.
Je veux seulement imaginer mon ame
Regardant au coucher du soleil,
Les silhouettes des gabares
S’éloignant lentement, tranquillement,
En silence, très lentement, paisiblement.
