Apporte les cristaux dorés, Et les verres couleur de songe; Et que notre amour se prolonge Dans les parfums exaspérés. Des roses! Des roses encor! Je les adore à la souffrance. Elles ont la sombre attirance Des choses qui donnent la mort. L'été d'or croule dans les coupes; Le jus des pêches que tu coupes Eclabousse ton sein neigeux. Le parc est sombre comme un gouffre... Et c'est dans mon coeur orageux Comme un mal de douceur qui souffre.

Bring the gilded crystal-ware and the dream-coloured goblets; may our love be prolonged in the vigorous perfumes. Roses! More roses! I adore them to the point of pain; they have the sombre attraction of things that deliver death. The golden summer crumbles in our cups; the juice of the peaches you are cutting splashes on your snowy breasts. The park is dark like an abyss... and there is in my stormy heart a pain of suffering sweetness.
