Toward the South
Francis Poulenc
Zenith
All these regrets
These gardens without limits
Where the toad varies a tender azure cry
The doe of the boundless silence passes quickly
A nightingale wounded by love sings on
The rosebush of your body from which I have picked the roses
Our hearts hang together on the same pomegranate tree
And the pomegranate flowers in our dawning glances
While falling by turns have littered the path
