III
 Et le Poète dit qu'aux rayons des étoiles
 Tu viens chercher, la nuit, les fleurs que tu cueillis ;
 Et qu'il a vu sur l'eau, couchée en ses longs voiles,
 La blanche Ophélia flotter, comme un grand lys.

E l'urlo di mari folli, rantolo grandioso,
il tuo petto infantile, troppo dolce e umano, ha spezzato
ed un mattino d'aprile, stette ai tuoi piedi assiso,
un pallido cavaliere, povero folle,  muto!
