Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAF GHAIAJJKLH AMJAAJNHO PJAL JQLRABJSL TJBULHVJWXALAPY PAJPPAHHZJP IHLA AWould you see | A |
The dark form of the sun | B |
The contours of life | C |
Or be truly dazzled | D |
By the fire that fuses all | E |
The flame conveyer of modesties | A |
In flesh in gold that fine gesture | F |
- | |
Error is as unknown | G |
As the limits of spring | H |
The temptation prodigious | A |
All touches all travels you | I |
At first it was only a thunder of incense | A |
Which you love the more | J |
The fine praise at four | J |
Lovely motionless nude | K |
Violin mute but palpable | L |
I speak to you of seeing | H |
- | |
I will speak to you of your eyes | A |
Be faceless if you wish | M |
Of their unwilling colour | J |
Of luminous stones | A |
Colourless | A |
Before the man you conquer | J |
His blind enthusiasm | N |
Reigns naively like a spring | H |
In the desert | O |
- | |
Between the sands of night and the waves of day | P |
Between earth and water | J |
No ripple to erase | A |
No road possible | L |
- | |
Between your eyes and the images I see there | J |
Is all of which I think | Q |
Myself inderacinable | L |
Like a plant which masses itself | R |
Which simulates rock among other rocks | A |
That I carry for certain | B |
You all entire | J |
All that you gaze at | S |
All | L |
- | |
This is a boat | T |
That sails a sweet river | J |
It carries playful women | B |
And patient grain | U |
This is a horse descending the hill | L |
Or perhaps a flame rising | H |
A great barefooted laugh in a wretched heart | V |
An autumn height of soothing verdure | J |
A bird that persists in folding its wings in its nest | W |
A morning that scatters the reddened light | X |
To waken the fields | A |
This is a parasol | L |
And this the dress | A |
Of a lace maker more seductive than a bouquet | P |
Of the bell sounds of the rainbow | Y |
- | |
This thwarts immensity | P |
This has never enough space | A |
Welcome is always elsewhere | J |
With the lightning and the flood | P |
That accompany it | P |
Of medusas and fires | A |
Marvellously obliging | H |
They destroy the scaffolding | H |
Topped by a sad coloured flag | Z |
A bounded star | J |
Whose fingers are paralysed | P |
- | |
I speak of seeing you | I |
I know you living | H |
All exists all is visible | L |
There is no fleck of night in your eyes | A |
- | |
I see by a light exclusively yours | A |
