Je prendraiDans les yeux d'un amiCe qu'il y
a de plus chaud de plus beauEt de
plus tendre aussiQu'on ne voit que deux ou
trois foisDurant toute une vieEt qui fait que
cet ami est notre amiJe prendraiUn nuage de
ma jeunesseQui passait rond et blancPar-dessus ma tête
et souventEt qui aux jours de faiblesseRessemblait à
ma mèreEt aux jours de colère à un
lionUn beau nuage douillet et rond et confortableJe
prendraiCe ruisseau clair et frêle d'avrilQui disparaît aux
premiers froidsQui disparaît tout l'hiverEt coule alors paraît-il
sur la table des Noces de CanaJe prendraiMa
lampe ma meilleurePas celle qui éclaireNon celle qui
illumineEt rend joli et appelle de loinJe prendraiUn
lit un grand le mienEt qui sait ce
que c'est qu'un hommeEt son chagrinUn grand lit
d'être humainJe prendrai tout celaEt puis je bâtiraiJe
bâtirai et j'appellerai les gensQui passeront dans la
rueEt je leur montreraiMa crèche de Noël
