Les roses pleurent
Language: French (Français)
Les roses ont ce soir pleuré dans le jardin ;
Leur parfum était triste et tristes leurs corolles,
Peut-être qu’un passant aura dit ces paroles :
“Toutes se faneront demain !”
Aussi comme ce soir leur veille est douloureuse !
Elles tremblent de s’endormir,
Craignent, toutes peureuses,
Que ce dernier sommeil les vienne en sevelir !
Leur tige s’alourdit de tristesse pesante,
Des larmes de la nuit leur pauvre cœur est plein,
Chaque fleur prend des airs d’agonisante.
Les roses ont ce soir pleuré dans le jardin !

This evening, the roses weep
Language: English after the French (Français)
This evening, the roses weep in the garden;
their perfume doleful, sad their corollae.
Perhaps some passer-by shall have uttered:
"They will all fade tomorrow!"
Their watch is as pained as is this evening!
They tremble to fall asleep.
All affrighted, they dread
that this last sleep of theirs might bury them!
Their stems grow heavy with weighty sadness,
With tears nocturnal that fill their poor hearts,
Each flower acquiring the air of one who slowly perishes.
The roses weep in the garden this evening!
