The Piano
The keyboard, over which two slim hands float, Shines vaguely in the twilight pink and gray, Whilst with a sound like wings, note after note Takes flight to form a pensive little lay That strays, discreet and charming, faint, remote, About the room where perfumes of Her stray. What is this sudden quiet cradling me To that dim ditty's dreamy rise and fall? What do you want with me, pale melody? What is it that you want, ghost musical That fade toward the window waveringly A little open on the garden small? Paul Verlaine
Şiir
The Butterfly
Coming with the daffodils and dying with the roses, Wafted by the zephyr's wing athwart the spaces high, Lurking in the flower's bloom or e'er its breast uncloses, Reeling with sweet draughts of scent, and light, and deep blue sky; Shaking wide its dusty wings and like the breezes breasting Burdenless and innocent the sky's eternal steep:- Thus doth fare the butterfly like hope that never resting, Rifles all but cannot quench desire that ever questing, Bears it home to heaven again for lasting joy and deep. Alphonse de Lamartine

Le lac
Ainsi, toujours poussés vers de nouveaux rivages, Dans la nuit éternelle emportés sans retour, Ne pourrons-nous jamais sur l'océan des âges Jeter l'ancre un seul jour ? Ô lac ! l'année à peine a fini sa carrière, Et près des flots chéris qu'elle devait revoir, Regarde ! je viens seul m'asseoir sur cette pierre Où tu la vis s'asseoir ! Tu mugissais ainsi sous ces roches profondes ; Ainsi tu te brisais sur leurs flancs déchirés ; Ainsi le vent jetait l'écume de tes ondes Sur ses pieds adorés. Alphonse de Lamartine

En Sourdine
Tranquil in the twilight dense By the spreading branches made, Let us breathe the influence Of the silence and the shade. Let your heart melt into mine, And your soul reach out to me, 'Mid the languor's of the pine And the sighing arbute-tree. Close your eyes, your hands let be Folded on your slumbering heart, From whose hold all treachery Drive forever, and all art. Let us with the hour accord! Let us let the gentle wind, Rippling in the sunburnt sward, Bring us to a patient mind! And when Night across the air Shall her solemn shadow fling, Touching voice of our despair, Long the nightingale shall sing. Paul Verlaine
