Calme des nuits
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): DUT GER SPA
Calme des nuits, fraîcheur des soirs,
Vaste scintillement des mondes,
Grand silence des antres noirs
Vous charmez les âmes profondes.
L'éclat du soleil, la gaité,
Le bruit plaisent aux plus futiles;
Le poète seul est hanté
Par l'amour des choses tranquilles.

Kalmte van nachten
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the French (Français)
Kalmte der nachten, koelte van avonden,
Weids geflonker van hemellichamen
Grootse stilte in zwarte spelonken
Jullie betoveren diepzinnige zielen.
Schittering van de zon, vrolijkheid
en lawaai behagen de meer oppervlakkigen;
Alleen de dichter wordt gegrepen
door de liefde voor rustige zaken.
