Le vin sait rev tir le plus sordide bouge	A
D'un luxe miraculeux	B
Et fait surgir plus d'un portique fabuleux	B
Dans l'or de sa vapeur rouge	A
Comme un soleil couchant dans un ciel n buleux	B
	-
L'opium agrandit ce qui n'a pas de bornes	B
Allonge l'illimit	C
Approfondit le temps creuse la volupt	C
Et de plaisirs noirs et mornes	B
Remplit l' me au del de sa capacit	C
	-
Tout cela ne vaut pas le poison qui d coule	D
De tes yeux de tes yeux verts	B
Lacs o mon me tremble et se voit l'envers	B
Mes songes viennent en foule	D
Pour se d salt rer ces gouffres amers	B
	-
Tout cela ne vaut pas le terrible prodige	A
De ta salive qui mord	C
Qui plonge dans l'oubli mon me sans remords	B
Et charriant le vertige	A
La roule d faillante aux rives de la mort	C
	-
Poison	E
	-
Wine knows how to adorn the most sordid hovel	D
With marvelous luxury	F
And make more than one fabulous portal appear	G
In the gold of its red mist	C
Like a sun setting in a cloudy sky	H
	-
Opium magnifies that which is limitless	B
Lengthens the unlimited	C
Makes time deeper hollows out voluptuousness	B
And with dark gloomy pleasures	B
Fills the soul beyond its capacity	F
	-
All that is not equal to the poison which flows	B
From your eyes from your green eyes	B
Lakes where my soul trembles and sees its evil side	C
My dreams come in multitude	C
To slake their thirst in those bitter gulfs	B
	-
All that is not equal to the awful wonder	I
Of your biting saliva	J
Charged with madness that plunges my remorseless soul	D
Into oblivion	E
And rolls it in a swoon to the shores of death	K

Translated by William Aggeler	I
	-
Poisons	B
	-
Wine can conceal a sordid room	L
In rich miraculous disguise	B
And make such porticoes arise	B
Out of its flushed and crimson fume	L
As makes the sunset in the skies	B
	-
Opium the infinite enlarges	B
And lengthens all that is past measure	I
It deepens time and digs its treasure	I
With sad black raptures it o'ercharges	B
The soul and surfeits it with pleasure	I
	-
Neither are worth the drug so strong	M
That you distil from your green eyes	B
Lakes where I see my soul capsize	B
Head downwards and where in one throng	M
I slake my dreams and quench my sighs	B
	-
But to your spittle these seem naught	C
It stings and burns It steeps my thought	C
And spirit in oblivious gloom	L
And in its dizzy onrush caught	C
Dashes it on the shores of doom	L

Translated by Roy Campbell	D
	-
Le Poison	E
	-
wine clothes the sordid walls of hovels old	C
with pomp no palace knows	B
evokes long peristyles in pillared rows	B
from vaporous red and gold	C
like sunset with her cloud built porticoes	B
	-
and opium widens all that has no bourn	N
in its unbounded sea	B
moments grow hours pleasures cease to be	B
in souls that overworn	N
drown in its black abyss of lethargy	B
	-
dread poisons but more dread the poisoned well	D
of thy green eyes accurst	C
tarns where I watch my trembling soul reversed	C
my dreams innumerable	D
throng to those bitter gulfs to slake their thirst	C
	-
dread magic but thy mouth more dread than these	B
its wine and hellebore	I
burn floods of Lethe in my bosom's core	I
till winds of madness seize	B
and dash me swooning on Death's barren shore	I
