Il pleut doucement sur la ville RIMBAUD | B |
- | |
Tears fall within mine heart | B |
As rain upon the town | C |
Whence does this languor start | B |
Possessing all mine heart | B |
- | |
O sweet fall of the rain | D |
Upon the earth and roofs | E |
Unto an heart in pain | D |
O music of the rain | D |
- | |
Tears that have no reason | F |
Fall in my sorry heart | B |
What there was no treason | F |
This grief hath no reason | F |
- | |
Nay the more desolate | B |
Because I know not why | A |
Neither for love nor hate | B |
Mine heart is desolate | B |

II | A |
- | |
COLLOQUE SENTIMENTAL | G |
- | |
Into the lonely park all frozen fast | B |
Awhile ago there were two forms who passed | B |
- | |
Lo are their lips fallen and their eyes dead | B |
Hardly shall a man hear the words they said | B |
- | |
Into the lonely park all frozen fast | B |
There came two shadows who recall the past | B |
- | |
Dost thou remember our old ecstasy | H |
Wherefore should I possess that memory | H |
- | |
Doth thine heart beat at my sole name alway | A |
Still dost thou see my soul in visions Nay | I |
- | |
They were fair days of joy unspeakable | G |
Whereon our lips were joined I cannot tell | J |
- | |
Were not the heavens blue was not hope high | A |
Hope has fled vanquished down the darkling sky | A |
- | |
So through the barren oats they wander d | H |
And the night only heard the words they said | B |
- | |
- | |
III | A |
- | |
SPLEEN | K |
- | |
Around were all the roses red | B |
The ivy all around was black | L |
- | |
Dear so thou only move thine head | B |
Shall all mine old despairs awake | M |
- | |
Too blue too tender was the sky | A |
The air too soft too green the sea | H |
- | |
Always I fear I know not why | A |
Some lamentable flight from thee | H |
- | |
I am so tired of holly sprays | N |
And weary of the bright box tree | H |
- | |
Of all the endless country ways | N |
Of everything alas save thee | H |
- | |
- | |
IV | A |
- | |
The sky is up above the roof | A |
So blue so soft | B |
A tree there up above the roof | A |
Swayeth aloft | B |
- | |
A bell within that sky we see | H |
Chimes low and faint | B |
A bird upon that tree we see | H |
Maketh complaint | B |
- | |
Dear God is not the life up there | O |
Simple and sweet | B |
How peacefully are borne up there | O |
Sounds of the street | B |
- | |
What hast thou done who comest | B |
To weep alway | A |
Where hast thou laid who comest here | P |
Thy youth away | A |
