The Auctioneer of Parting
His "Going, going, gone"
Shouts even from the Crucifix,
And brings his Hammer down --
He only sells the Wilderness,
The prices of Despair
Range from a single human Heart
To Two -- not any more --

Language: French (Français)  after the English
Le Commissaire-priseur de la Séparation
Son « Une fois, deux fois, adjugé »
Crie même depuis le Crucifix,
Et abaisse son Marteau --
Il vend seulement le Désert,
Les prix du Désespoir
Vont d'un seul Cœur humain
À Deux -- pas plus --
