Roses, en bracelet autour du tronc de l'arbre, Sur le mur, en rideau Svelte parure au bord de la vasque de marbre, D'où s'élance un jet d'eau, Roses, je veux [encor tresser]1 quelque couronne Avec votre beauté, Et comme un jeune avril, embellir mon automne, Au bout de mon été.

Roses in a bracelet around the trunk of the tree On the curtain wall Svelte jewelry at the edge of the marble basin From where soars up a jet of water, Roses, I want to weave yet another crown With your beauty, And like a young April, beautify my autumn At the end of my summer.
