Timetable
Not only does Sunday ignore the chores
Instead of English words, let's chew gum
Smile a little
Aurore ate fickle food
The dunce cap suits your age perfectly
There's plenty of time to blush during the holidays
Or when you've read all the prize books
Bareheaded, we practice singing off-key ballads
Weeping over the dwarf roses that did not bloom
The meeting place
Elsewhere, a sign
Allows schoolchildren to stroll along the way!
The least of my worries, provided that tomorrow
Skyscrapers envy my card houses
Fingers numb from too many successes
I will separate the various blades of grass
On which, one deceitful evening, you sit
Then in the tall grass you lost your mind
More dead than alive under the bridge that outrages her
The river rolls on, and its sobs of pleasure
You alone could excuse my love of travel
Your gaze accompanies me on a journey of pleasure
Conclusion
Tired of moving unruly hills
She's had enough of the tedious assignments I was making up
Now that the summer dress has faded
I feel strong enough to return to the cities.
Raymond Radiguet
