IA
-
Il pleut doucement sur la ville RIMBAUDB
-
Tears fall within mine heartB
As rain upon the townC
Whence does this languor startB
Possessing all mine heartB
-
O sweet fall of the rainD
Upon the earth and roofsE
Unto an heart in painD
O music of the rainD
-
Tears that have no reasonF
Fall in my sorry heartB
What there was no treasonF
This grief hath no reasonF
-
Nay the more desolateB
Because I know not whyA
Neither for love nor hateB
Mine heart is desolateB

-
COLLOQUE SENTIMENTALG
-
Into the lonely park all frozen fastB
Awhile ago there were two forms who passedB
-
Lo are their lips fallen and their eyes deadB
Hardly shall a man hear the words they saidB
-
Into the lonely park all frozen fastB
There came two shadows who recall the pastB
-
Dost thou remember our old ecstasyH
Wherefore should I possess that memoryH
-
Doth thine heart beat at my sole name alwayA
Still dost thou see my soul in visions NayI
-
They were fair days of joy unspeakableG
Whereon our lips were joined I cannot tellJ
-
Were not the heavens blue was not hope highA
Hope has fled vanquished down the darkling skyA
-
So through the barren oats they wander dH
And the night only heard the words they saidB
-
-
IIIA
-
SPLEENK
-
Around were all the roses redB
The ivy all around was blackL
-
Dear so thou only move thine headB
Shall all mine old despairs awakeM
-
Too blue too tender was the skyA
The air too soft too green the seaH
-
Always I fear I know not whyA
Some lamentable flight from theeH
-
I am so tired of holly spraysN
And weary of the bright box treeH
-
Of all the endless country waysN
Of everything alas save theeH
-
-
IVA
-
The sky is up above the roofA
So blue so softB
A tree there up above the roofA
Swayeth aloftB
-
A bell within that sky we seeH
Chimes low and faintB
A bird upon that tree we seeH
Maketh complaintB
-
Dear God is not the life up thereO
Simple and sweetB
How peacefully are borne up thereO
Sounds of the streetB
-
What hast thou done who comestB
To weep alwayA
Where hast thou laid who comest hereP
Thy youth awayA
