Surrounded by flasks and by spangled lames	A
All matter of sumptuous goods	A
Marble sculptures fine paintings and perfumed peignoirs	A
That trail in voluptuous folds	A
	-
In a room like a greenhouse both stuffy and warm	B
An atmosphere heavy with death	C
Where arrangements of flowers encoffined in glass	A
Exhale their ultimate breath	C
	-
A headless cadaver spills out like a stream	D
On a pillow adorning the bed	E
A flow of red blood which the linen drinks up	F
With a thirsty meadow's greed	G
	-
Like pale apprehensions born in the dark	H
And that enchain the eyes	A
The head the pile of its ebony mane	I
With precious jewels entwined	J
	-
On the night table like a ranunculus	A
Reposes and a gaze	A
Mindless and vague and as black as the dusk	K
Escapes from the pallid face	A
	-
On the bed the nude torso displays without shame	L
And most lasciviously	M
The secret magnificence fatal allure	N
Of its nature's artistry	O
	-
On the leg a pink stocking adorned with gold clocks	A
Remains like a souvenir	P
The garter a diamond blazing eye	Q
Hurls a glance that is cold and severe	P
	-
The singular aspect of this solitude	R
Like the portrait hung above	S
With eyes as enticing as languorous pose	A
Reveals an unspeakable love	S
	-
Perverse entertainments and culpable joys	A
Full of devilish intimacies	A
Which would make the dark angels swarm with delight	T
In the folds of the draperies	A
	-
And yet to notice the elegant lines	A
Of the shoulder lean and lithe	U
The haunch a bit pointed the turn of the waist	V
Like a snake aroused to strike	W
	-
She is still in her youth Did her sickness of soul	M
And her senses gnawed by ennui	O
Open to her that depraved pack of lusts	A
And encourage them willingly	O
	-
That intractable man whom alive you could not	X
Despite so much love satisfy	Q
Did he there on your still and amenable corpse	A
His appetite gratify	Q
	-
Tell me cadaver and by your stiff hair	Y
Raising with feverous hand	Z
Terrible head did he paste on your teeth	A2
His kisses again and again	B2
	-
Far away from the world from the taunts of the mob	C2
Far from the prying police	A
Strange creature within your mysterious tomb	D2
I bid you to sleep in peace	A
	-
Your bridegroom may roam but the image of you	E2
Stands by him wherever he rests	A
As much as you doubtless the man will be true	E2
And faithful even till death	C
