Toi qui fis à l’amour des promesses tout bas Et qui vis s’engager pour ta gloire un poète Ô rose toujours fraîche, ô rose toujours prête Je t’offre le parfum horrible des combats Toi qui sans défleurir, sans mourir, succombas Ô rose toujours fraîche au vent qui la maltraite Fleuris tous les espoirs d’une armée qui halète Embaume tes amants masqués sur leurs grabats Il pleut si doucement pendant la nuit si tendre Tandis que monte en nous cet effluve fatal Musicien masqué que nul ne peut entendre Je joue un air d’amour aux cordes de cristal De cette douce pluie où s’apaise mon mal Et que les cieux sur nous font doucement descendre

Te, ki ígéretet tettél szerelmesen, Nézd, a poéta harcmezőn dicséri fényed. Te mindig üde rózsa, ó te mindig ékes, Csaták rémes illatát küldöm el neked. Te hervadatlan, halhatatlan édesem, Te mindig üde rózsa; ronda kerge szélben Virulsz – egy egész fújtató sereg reménye – S híved álarcán mosolyogsz a végeken. Gyönge könnyel sírdogálva leng az enyhe éj Miközben reánk ront a gyászos fuvallat. Én a gázmaszkos zenész, ha senki meg sem ért, Dalolok: kristálytiszta felhők suhannak. Érzem, az édes zápor ad csak nyugalmat, És a mennyország leszáll reám, a lelkemért.
