Metric Figure + 

There is a bird in the poplars! + 

It is the sun! + 

The leaves are little yellow fish + 

swimming in the river. + 

The bird skims above them, + 

day is on his wings. + 

Phoebus! + 

It is he that is making + 

the great gleam among the poplars! + 

It is his singing + 

outshines the noise + 

of leaves clashing in the wind. + 
