Abandon entouré d'abandon
Tendresse touchant aux tendresses...
C’est ton intérieur qui sans cesse
Se caresse, dirait-on ;

Se caresse en soi-même
Par son propre reflet éclairé
Ainsi tu inventes le thème
Du Narcisse exhaucé

---

Abandonment surrounded by abandonment
Tenderness-related tenderness...
It's your interior that's constantly
Caress, it would be said;

Caress in oneself
By its own illuminated reflection
So you invent the theme
Exhooked Narcissus
