Language: English

Our translations: FRE

The Thrill came slowly like a Boon for
Centuries delayed
Its fitness growing like the Flood
In sumptuous solitude-
The desolation only missed
While Rapture changed its Dress
And stood amazed before the Change
In ravished Holiness --

Le Frisson vint lentement comme une...

Language: French (Français) after the English

Le Frisson vint lentement comme une Bénédiction pendant
Des Siècles différée
Sa justesse grossissant comme la Crue
Dans une somptueuse solitude -
La désolation manqua seulement
Pendant que l'Extase changea sa robe
Et demeura impressionnée devant le changement
Dans une Sainteté enchantée.
