Je nai pas oubli, voisine de la ville

Topics: classic

Ive not forgotten, near to the town,     our white house, small but alone:     its Pomona of plaster, its Venus of old     hiding nude limbs in the meagre grove,     and the sun, superb, at evening, streaming,     behind the glass, where its sheaves were bursting,     a huge eye in a curious heaven, present     to gaze at our meal, lengthy and silent,     spreading its beautiful candle glimmer     on the frugal cloth and the rough curtain.
