Return to the original list

Du, der ichs nicht sage, daß ich bei Nacht
weinend liege,
deren Wesen mich müde macht
wie eine Wiege.
Du, die mir nicht sagt, wenn sie wacht
Meinetwillen:
wie, wenn wir diese Pracht
ohne zu stillen
in uns ertrügen?

Toi, à qui je ne dis pas que la nuit
je suis étendu en pleurs,
dont la nature me lasse
comme un berceau.
Toi, qui ne me dis pas quand elle veille
à cause de moi :
Qu'en serait-il de cette magnificence,
si, sans rester silencieux,
nous l'endurions en nous ?

Regarde les amants,
une fois qu'ils ont commencé l'aveu,
comme ils se mettent vite à mentir.
