Barouches Noires
It was when I was sitting by the side of the
lake,
By the side of a lake where the great trees
come to the water's edge,
And when, beneath the glittering leaves, I
was watching the gleaming, mobile
water; the water that was like a
thousand living mirrors in the sun-
light, that I turned my head . . . .
