L'anèmone et l'ancolie Ont poussé dans le jardin Où dort la mélancolie Entre l'amour et le dédain Il y vient aussi nos ombres Que la nuit dissipera Le soleil qui les rends sombres Avec elles disparaîtra Les déïtés des eaux vives Laissent couler leurs cheveux Passe il faut que tu poursuives Cette belle ombre que tu veux

Anemones and columbines have grown in the garden where melancholy sleeps between love and disdain. Our shadows come there too - night will dispel them, the sun that makes them dark will vanish at the same time. The deities of fresh streams let their hair flow in the water. Pass on, you need to pursue that beautiful shadow you desire.
