| Vous hurlez comme l'orgue et dans nos coeurs maudits | A |
| Chambres d' ternel deuil o vibrent de vieux r les | A |
| R pondent les chos de vos De profundis | A |
| - | |
| Je te hais Oc an tes bonds et tes tumultes | A |

| Dont la lumi re parle un langage connu | D |
| Car je cherche le vide et le noir et le nu | D |

| Great woods you frighten me like cathedrals | A |
| You roar like the organ and in our cursed hearts | A |
| Rooms of endless mourning where old death rattles sound | E |
| Respond the echoes of your De profundis | A |
| - | |
| I hate you Ocean your bounding and your tumult | F |
| My mind finds them within itself that bitter laugh | G |
| Of the vanquished man full of sobs and insults | A |
| I hear it in the immense laughter of the sea | A |
| - | |
| How I would like you Night without those stars | A |
| Whose light speaks a language I know | D |
| For I seek emptiness darkness and nudity | A |
| - | |
| But the darkness is itself a canvas | A |
| Upon which live springing from my eyes by thousands | A |
| Beings with understanding looks who have vanished | H |

| Obsession | D |
| - | |
| You forests like cathedrals are my dread | I |
| You roar like organs Our curst hearts like cells | A |
| Where death forever rattles on the bed | I |
| Echo your de Profundis as it swells | A |
| - | |
| My spirit hates you Ocean sees and loathes | A |
| Its tumults in your own Of men defeated | J |
| The bitter laugh that's full of sobs and oaths | A |
| Is in your own tremendously repeated | K |
| - | |
| How you would please me Night without your stars | A |
| Which speak a foreign dialect that jars | A |
| On one who seeks the void the black the bare | C |
| - | |
| Yet even your darkest shade a canvas forms | A |
| Whereon my eye must multiply in swarms | A |
| Familiar looks of shapes no longer there | C |
