Coucher de soleil
Language: French (Français)
Le Soleil s’est ouvert les veines Sur un lit de nuages roux : Son sang, par la bouche des trous, S’éjacule en rouges fontaines. Les rameaux convulsifs des chênes Flagellent les horizons fous : Le Soleil s’est ouvert les veines Sur un lit de nuages roux. Comme, après les hontes romaines Un débauché plein de dégoûts Laissant jusqu’aux sales égouts Saigner ses artères malsaines, Le Soleil s’est ouvert les veines !

Sonnen Ende
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Die sieche Sonne läßt ihr Blut entströmen auf rotem Wolkenbett, es träufelt aus den Wunden nieder und färbt das Land. Es rieselt auf der Eichen bang zitterndes Laub. Die sieche Sonne läßt ihr Blut entströmen auf rotem Wolkenbett, So öffnet sich ein müder Lüstling, von ekel vor dem Tage übermannt, die Adern, daß das kranke Leben in Straub verinnt. Die sieche Sonne läßt ihr Blutentströmen.
