In the parched path	A
I have seen the good lizard	B
one dropp of crocodile	C
meditating	D
With his green frock coat	E
of an abbot of the devil	F
his correct bearing	D
and his stiff collar	G
he has the sad air	H
of an old professor	G
Those faded eyes	I
of a broken artist	J
how they watch the afternoon	K
in dismay	L
	-
Is this my friend	M
your twilight constitutional	F
Please use your cane	N
you are very old Mr Lizard	B
and the children of the village	O
may startle you	P
What are you seeking in the path	A
my near sighted philosopher	G
if the wavering phantasm	Q
of the parched afternoon	K
has broken the horizon	R
	-
Are you seeking the blue alms	S
of the moribund heaven	R
A penny of a star	T
Or perhaps	U
you've been reading a volume	V
of Lamartine and you relish	W
the plateresque trills	U
of the birds	U
	-
You watch the setting sun	R
and your eyes shine	X
oh dragon of the frogs	U
with a human radiance	U
Ideas gondolas without oars	U
cross the shadowy	Y
waters of your	Z
burnt out eyes	U
	-
Have you come looking	D
for that lovely lady lizard	B
green as the wheatfields	U
of May	L
as the long locks	U
of sleeping pools	U
who scorned you and then	A2
left you in your field	B2
Oh sweet idyll broken	R
among the sweet sedges	U
But live What the devil	F
I like you	P
The motto 'I oppose	U
the serpent' triumphs	U
in that grand double chin	C2
of a Christian archbishop	D2
	-
Now the sun has dissolved	E2
in the cup of the mountains	U
and the flocks	U
cloud the roadway	L
It is the hour to depart	F2
leave the dry path	A
and your meditations	U
You will have time	G2
to look at the stars	U
when the worms are eating you	P
at their leisure	G
	-
	-
Go home to your house	U
by the village of the crickets	U
Good night my friend	M
Mr Lizard	B
	-
Now the field is empty	Y
the mountains dim	H2
the roadway deserted	I2
Only now and again	A2
a cuckoo sings in the darkness	U
of the poplar trees	U
