Lorsque tu dormiras ma belle t n breuse	A
Au fond d'un monument construit en marbre noir	B
Et lorsque tu n'auras pour alc ve et manoir	B
Qu'un caveau pluvieux et qu'une fosse creuse	A
	-
Quand la pierre opprimant ta poitrine peureuse	A
Et tes flancs qu'assouplit un charmant nonchaloir	B
Emp chera ton coeur de battre et de vouloir	B
Et tes pieds de courir leur course aventureuse	A
	-
Le tombeau confident de mon r ve infini	C
Car le tombeau toujours comprendra le po te	D
Durant ces grandes nuits d'o le somme est banni	C
	-
Te dira Que vous sert courtisane imparfaite	D
De n'avoir pas connu ce que pleurent les morts	A
Et le vers rongera ta peau comme un remords	A
	-
Posthumous Remorse	A
	-
When you will sleep O dusky beauty mine	C
Beneath a monument fashioned of black marble	E
When you will have for bedroom and mansion	C
Only a rain swept vault and a hollow grave	F
	-
When the slab of stone oppressing your frightened breast	D
And your flanks now supple with charming nonchalance	A
Will keep your heart from beating from wishing	G
And your feet from running their adventurous course	A
	-
The tomb confidant of my infinite dreams	A
For the tomb will always understand the poet	D
Through those long nights from which all sleep is banned will say	A
	-
'What does it profit you imperfect courtesan	C
Not to have known why the dead weep '	-
And like remorse the worm will gnaw your skin	C
	-

Translated by William Aggeler	B
	-
Posthumous Remorse	A
	-
When you're asleep dear shadow coloured wench	H
Within a coal black marble monument	D
When for your room and mansion you are pent	D
In a wet cellar and a hollow trench	H
	-
When the stone pressing on your startled breast	D
And flanks in fluent suppleness competing	G
Prevents your heart from wishing or from beating	G
Your feet from racing on their reckless quest	D
	-
The tomb that shares my deathless recollection	C
For poets best are understood by tombs	A
On those long nights when never sleep presumes	A
	-
Will say 'What boots frail vase of imperfection	C
Not to have known what pains with death begin '	-
And like remorse the worm will gnaw your skin	C
	-
	-
Translated by Roy Campbell	E
	-
Posthumous Remorse	A
	-
When O sweet dusky beauty you shall rest	D
Deep under a bleak marble monument	D
When for last manor yours the tenement	D
Of rainswept vault or hollow ditch at best	D
When the long stone weighs down your frightened breast	D
And flanks so supple now and indolent	D
Choking your heart's beat and your feet's intent	D
To race again on their adventurous quest	D
	-
The tomb confidant of my endless dreams shall keep	I
Vigil through those long nights that know not sleep	I
Poet and tomb were friends since Time began	C
Saying 'What use imperfect courtesan	C
Not to make known what dead men mourn perforce '	-
While the worm gnaws you sharply as remorse	A
	-
	-
Translated by Jacques LeClercq	J
	-
Remorse Too Late	D
	-
My dark and lovely thing when you at length lie dead	D
And sleep beneath a slab of marble black as pitch	H
And have for perfumed alcove and seductive bed	D
Only a rainy cavern and a hollow ditch	H
	-
When the oppressive stone upon your frightened breast	D
Lets settle all its weight and on your supple thighs	A
Restrains your heart from beating flattens it to rest	D
Bends down and binds your feet so roving so unwise	A
	-
The tomb that knows me well and reads my dream aright	D
What poet but confides his secret to the tomb	K
Will say to you some day during that endless night	D
	-
'They fare but ill vain courtesan in this cold room	K
Who bring here no warm memories of true love to keep '	-
And like remorse the worm will gnaw you in your sleep	I
	-
	-
Translated by Edna St Vincent Millay	A
	-
Remords posthume	K
	-
when thou wilt sleep dark girl of shadowy gaze	A
down in the cold black marble of a tomb	K
a dripping vault thine only tiring room	K
thine only bed a grave where all decays	A
	-
when rock shall press thy paling breast and graze	A
thy limbs now languorous lovely in the gloom	K
shall crush thy faltering heart thy will consume	K
and halt thy feet in their adventurous ways	A
	-
the Grave that knows what infinite dreams I keep	I
o Grave the poet's friend forever thou	L
all through the night bereft of exiled sleep	I
	-
shall ask 'art sorry wretched wanton now	L
not to have learned why dead men weep perforce '	-
and worms shall gnaw thy breast like sharp remorse	A
	-

Translated by Lewis Piaget Shanks	A
