Comme les anges l'oeil fauve	A
Je reviendrai dans ton alc ve	A
Et vers toi glisserai sans bruit	B
Avec les ombres de la nuit	B
	-
Et je te donnerai ma brune	C
Des baisers froids comme la lune	C
Et des caresses de serpent	B
Autour d'une fosse rampant	B
	-
Quand viendra le matin livide	B
Tu trouveras ma place vide	B
O jusqu'au soir il fera froid	B
	-
Comme d'autres par la tendresse	D
Sur ta vie et sur ta jeunesse	D
Moi je veux r gner par l'effroi	E
	-
The Ghost	B
	-
Like angels with wild beast's eyes	D
I shall return to your bedroom	F
And silently glide toward you	G
With the shadows of the night	B
	-
And dark beauty I shall give you	G
Kisses cold as the moon	C
And the caresses of a snake	H
That crawls around a grave	A
	-
When the livid morning comes	D
You'll find my place empty	B
And it will be cold there till night	B
	-
I wish to hold sway over	E
Your life and youth by fear	E
As others do by tenderness	D
	-

Translated by William Aggeler	E
	-
The Ghost	B
	-
Like angels fierce and tawny eyed	B
Back to your chamber I will glide	B
And noiselessly into your sight	B
Steal with the shadows of the night	B
	-
And I will bring you brown delight	B
Kisses as cold as lunar night	B
And the caresses of a snake	H
Revolving in a grave At break	H
	-
Of morning in its livid hue	G
You'd find I had bequeathed to you	G
An empty place as cold as stone	C
	-
	-
Others by tenderness and ruth	I
Would reign over your life and youth	I
But I would rule by fear alone	C
	-
	-
Translated by Roy Campbell	J
	-
The Revenant	B
	-
Like angels with bright savage eyes	D
I will come treading phantom wise	D
Hither where thou art wont to sleep	K
Amid the shadows hollow and deep	K
	-
And I will give thee my dark one	C
Kisses as icy as the moon	C
Caresses as of snakes that crawl	L
In circles round a cistern's wall	L
	-
When morning shows its livid face	D
There will be no one in my place	D
And a strange cold will settle here	E
	-
Others not knowing what thou art	B
May think to reign upon thy heart	B
With tenderness I trust to fear	E
	-
	-
Translated by George Dillon	C
	-
The Ghost	B
	-
Like angels that have monster eyes	D
Over your bedside I shall rise	D
Gliding towards you silently	B
Across night's black immensity	B
O darksome beauty you shall swoon	C
At kisses colder than the moon	C
And fondlings like a snake's who coils Sinuous round the grave he soils	D
	-
When livid morning breaks apace	D
You shall find but an empty place	D
Cold until night and bleak and drear	E
As others do by tenderness	D
So would I rule your youthfulness	D
By harsh immensities of fear	E
	-
