Thanks to the Altavista translator, this comes out roughly thus. Hopefully,
a native French speaker will improve its artistry for us.

VOWELS

A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels
I will say some day your harmful hidden effects:
A, black hairy corset of the bright flies
Which gather around the cruel stench

Gulfs of shades; E, franknesses of the vapor and the tents
Launches the proud glaciers, kings white, shivers of sunshades
I, crimsons, spit blood, laughter of the beautiful lips
In anger or penitent intoxications;

U, cycles, vibrements divine of the verdant seas,
Peace of the sown rough grazings of animals, peace of the wrinkles
Which alchemy prints with the great studious faces;

O, supreme full Bugle strange strideurs,
Crossed silences of the Worlds and Angels:
O the Omega, purple ray of Its Eyes!
