La Mer

The sea

That one sees dancing along the clear bays

Has silver reflections

The sea

Changing reflections

In the rain

The sea

Under the summer sky confuses

Its white horses

With angels so pure

The sea

Shepherdess of

The infinite sky

See

Near the ponds

Those tall, wet reeds

See

Those white birds

And those rusted houses

The sea

Has rocked them

Along the clear bays

And with a love song

The sea

Has rocked my heart for ever
