Extase
Sur un lys pâle mon cœur dortD’un sommeil doux comme la mort …Mort exquise, mort parfuméeDu souffle de la bien-aimée …Sur ton sein pâle mon cœur dortD’un sommeil doux comme la mort …
Rapture
On a pale lily my heart is sleeping A sleep as sweet as death:Exquisite death, death perfumedBy the breath of the beloved:On your pale breast my heart is sleeping…
