by Paul Jean Toulet (1867 - 1920)

En Arles
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dans Arle, où sont les Aliscams,
Quand l'ombre est rouge, sous les roses,
Et clair le temps,

Prends garde à la douceur des choses. 
Lorsque tu sens battre sans cause
Ton coeur trop lourd ;

Et que se taisent les colombes :
Parle tout bas, si c'est d'amour,
Au bord des tombes.

Note provided by Peter Low: the poet spells the city "Arle" in the first line to ensure an 8-syllable line.
