Le matin n'est plus ! le soir pas encore
Language: French (Français)
Le matin n'est plus ! le soir pas encore :
Pourtant de nos yeux l'éclair a pâli.
Mais le soir vermeil ressemble à l'aurore,
Et la nuit plus tard amène l'oubli !

The morning is no more! and it is not...
Language: English after the French (Français)
The morning is no more! and it is not yet the evening :
Yet the light of our eyes has faded.
But the crimson evening resembles the sunrise,
And later, the night will bring oblivion!
