The full text of the poem reads "Salut monde dont je suis la langue éloquente que sa bouche Ô Paris tire et tirera toujours aux allemands". It translates as "Hello world, of which I am the eloquent tongue which your mouth, O Paris, will forever stick out at the Germans."
The poem is published in Calligrammes [3].
