Ce soir la lune r ve avec plus de paresse	A
Ainsi qu'une beaut sur de nombreux coussins	A
Qui d'une main distraite et l g re caresse	A
Avant de s'endormir le contour de ses seins	A
	-
Sur le dos satin des molles avalanches	A
Mourante elle se livre aux longues p moisons	A
Et prom ne ses yeux sur les visions blanches	A
Qui montent dans l'azur comme des floraisons	A
	-
Quand parfois sur ce globe en sa langueur oisive	B
Elle laisse filer une larme furtive	B
Un po te pieux ennemi du sommeil	C
	-
Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme p le	C
Aux reflets iris s comme un fragment d'opale	C
Et la met dans son coeur loin des yeux du soleil	C
	-
Sadness of the Moon	D
	-
Tonight the moon dreams with more indolence	A
Like a lovely woman on a bed of cushions	A
Who fondles with a light and listless hand	E
The contour of her breasts before falling asleep	F
	-
On the satiny back of the billowing clouds	A
Languishing she lets herself fall into long swoons	A
And casts her eyes over the white phantoms	A
That rise in the azure like blossoming flowers	A
	-
When in her lazy listlessness	A
She sometimes sheds a furtive tear upon this globe	G
A pious poet enemy of sleep	F
	-
In the hollow of his hand catches this pale tear	H
With the iridescent reflections of opal	C
And hides it in his heart afar from the sun's eyes	A
	-

Translated by William Aggeler	H
	-
Sorrow of the Moon	D
	-
More drowsy dreams the moon tonight She rests	A
Like a proud beauty on heaped cushions pressing	I
With light and absent minded touch caressing	I
Before she sleeps the contour of her breasts	A
	-
On satin shimmering downy avalanches	A
She dies from swoon to swoon in languid change	J
And lets her eyes on snowy visions range	J
That in the azure rise like flowering branches	A
	-
When sometimes to this earth her languor calm	K
Lets streak a stealthy tear a pious poet	L
The enemy of sleep in his cupped palm	K
	-
Takes this pale tear of liquid opal spun	M
With rainbow lights deep in his heart to stow it	N
Far from the staring eyeballs of the Sun	M
	-
	-
Translated by Roy Campbell	C
	-
The Sadness of the Moon	D
	-
Tonight the moon by languorous memories obsessed	O
Lies pensive and awake a sleepless beauty amid	P
The tossed and multitudinous cushions of her bed	Q
Caressing with an abstracted hand the curve of her breast	O
	-
Surrendered to her deep sadness as to a lover for hours	A
She lolls in the bright luxurious disarray of the sky	R
Haggard entranced and watches the small clouds float by	R
Uncurling indolently in the blue air like flowers	A
	-
When now and then upon this planet she lets fall	C
Out of her idleness and sorrow a secret tear	H
Some poet an enemy of slumber musing apart	S
	-
Catches in his cupped hands the unearthly tribute all	C
Fiery and iridescent like an opal's sphere	H
And hides it from the sun for ever in his heart	S
	-

Tristesses de la lune	M
	-
the moon tonight more indolently dreaming	I
as on a pillowed bed a woman seems	A
caressing with a hand distraught and gleaming	I
her soft curved bosom ere she sinks in dreams	A
	-
against a snowy satin avalanche	T
she lies entranced and drowned in swooning hours	A
her gaze upon the visions born to blanch	T
those far blue depths with ever blossoming flowers	A
	-
and when in some soft languorous interval	C
earthward she lets a stealthy tear drop fall	C
a poet foe to slumber toiling on	M
	-
with reverent hollow hand receives the pearl	C
where shimmering opalescences unfurl	C
and shields it in his heart far from the sun	M
	-
	-
Translated by Lewis Piaget Shanks	A
	-
Sorrows of the Moon	M
	-
Tonight the moon dreams in a deeper languidness	A
And like a beauty on her cushions lies at rest	O
While drifting off to sleep a tentative caress	A
Seeks with a gentle hand the contour of her breast	O
	-
As on a crest above her silken avalanche	T
Dying she yields herself to an unending swoon	M
And sees a pallid vision everywhere she d glance	A
In the azure sky where blossoms have been strewn	M
	-
When sometime in her weariness upon her sphere	H
She might permit herself to sheda furtive tear	H
A poet of great piety a foe of sleep	F
	-
Catches in the hollow of his hand that tear	H
An opal fragment iridescent as a star	H
Within his heart far from the sun it s buried deep	F
