The voice of the leaves - La voix des feuilles / Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau


III - Outdoor Sketches

The voice of the leaves
          a song
Clearer than the rustling
               of robes
Brighter than the most
                        diaphanous colours.

La voix des feuilles
Une chanson
Plus claire un froissement
De robes plus claires aux plus
                              transparentes couleurs.
