Uno squillo di cròtali clangenti Rompe in ritmo il silenzio dei roseti, Mentre in fondo agli aulenti orti segreti Gorgheggia un flauto liquidi lamenti. La melodia, con tintinnio d'argenti, Par che a vicenda s'attristi e s'allieti, Ora luce di tremiti inquieti, Or diffondendo lunghe ombre dolenti: Cròtali arguti e canne variotocche!, Una gioia di cantici inespressi Per voi par che dai chiusi orti rampolli, E in sommo dei rosai, che cingon molli Ghirlande al cuor degli intimi recessi, S'apron le rose come molli bocche!

Un bruit de crotales crépitant Rompt en rythme le silence des rosiers, Tandis qu'au fond des jardins secrets et odorants Une flûte lance des trilles de complaintes liquides. La mélodie avec un tintement d'argent Hésite entre la tristesse et la joie, Tantôt brillant de tremblements inquiets, Tantôt lançant de longues ombres douloureuses : Les crotales aigus et les flûtes à plusieurs sons ! Une joie de chants inexprimés Jaillit pour vous des jardins fermés, Et au sommet des rosiers qu'entoure une douce Guirlande au cœur des recoins intimes, Les roses s'ouvrent comme des bouches douces !
