En face

Pierre Reverdy
Un nuage danse
Trois gouttes d’eau pendent à
La gouttière
Trois étoiles
Des diamants
Et vos yeux brillants qui regardent
Le soleil derrière la vitre
Midi
Opposite

A cloud dances
Three drops of water dangle from
The gutter
Three stars
Of diamonds
And your sparkling eyes which look at
The sun behind the midday
Window-pane
