Roses, en bracelet autour du tronc de l'arbre,
Sur le mur, en rideau
Svelte parure au bord de la vasque de marbre,
D'où s'élance un jet d'eau,

Roses, je veux [encor tresser]¹ quelque couronne
Avec votre beauté,
Et comme un jeune avril, embellir mon automne,
Au bout de mon été.

Roses in a bracelet

Language: English after the French (Français)

Roses in a bracelet around the trunk of the tree
On the curtain wall
Svelte jewelry at the edge of the marble basin
From where soars up a jet of water,

Roses, I want to weave yet another crown
With your beauty,
And like a young April, beautify my autumn
At the end of my summer.
