J’ai frappé
(1922)
J’ai frappé
Ma main a frappé les portes closesEt d’autres mains au loin ont répondu.Mon front a frappé les portes closesEt d’autres fronts au loin ont répondu.Mon cœur a frappé les portes closesMais l’écho de mon cœur seul a répondu.
My hand has struck
My hand has struck closed doorsAnd other hands have replied from afar.My brow has struck closed doorsAnd other brows have replied from afar.My heart has struck closed doorsBut only my heart’s echo replied.
