Pholoé
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG SPA
Oublie, ô Pholoé, la lyre et les festins,
Les Dieux heureux, les nuits si brèves, les bons vins
Et les jeunes désirs volant aux lèvres roses.
L'âge vient : il t'effleure en son vol diligent,
Et mêle en tes cheveux semés de fils d'argent
La pâle asphodèle à tes roses !

Pholoé
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the French (Français)
Olvida, ¡Oh Pholoé !, la lira y los festines,
Los felices dioses, las noches tan breves, los buenos vinos
Y los jóvenes deseos volando hacia labios sonrosados.
La edad llega: te roza en su vuelo diligente,
Y mezcla en tus cabellos sembrados de hilos de plata
El pálido asfódelo a tus rosas.
