| Love is dead within your arms | B |
| Do you remember his encounter | C |
| He s dead you restore the charms | B |
| He returns at your encounter | C |
| - | |
| Another spring of springs gone past | D |
| I think of all its tenderness | E |
| Farewell season done at last | D |
| You ll return as tenderly | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| In the evening light that s faded | G |
| Where our several loves brush by | H |
| Your memory lies enchained | G |
| Far from our shades that die | G |
| - | |
| O hands bound by memory | F |
| Burning like a funeral pyre | C |
| Where the last black Phoenix | I |
| Perfection comes to respire | C |
| - | |
| Link by link the chain wears thin | J |
| Deriding us your memory | C |
| Flies ah hear it you who rail | K |
| I kneel again at your feet | G |

| - | |
| You ve not surprised my secret yet | G |
| Already the cort ge moves on | L |
| But left to us is the regret | G |
| of there being no connivance none | M |
| - | |
| The rose floats at the water s edge | N |
| The maskers have passed by in crowds | O |
| It trembles in me like a bell | P |
| This heavy secret you ask now | Q |
| - | |

| Evening falls and in the garden | M |
| Women tell their histories | R |
| to Night that not without disdain | S |
| spills their dark hair s mysteries | R |
| - | |
| Little children little children | M |
| Your wings have flown away | T |
| But you rose that defend yourself | U |
| Throw your unrivalled scents away | T |
| - | |
| For now s the hour of petty theft | G |
| Of plumes of flowers and of tresses | V |
| Gather the fountain jets so free | C |
| Of whom the roses are mistresses | W |

| - | |
| - | |
| You descended through the water clear | C |
| I drowned my self so in your glance | X |
| The soldier passes she leans down | Y |
| Turns and breaks away a branch | Z |
| - | |
| You float on nocturnal waves | A2 |
| The flame is my own heart reversed | G |
| Coloured as that comb s tortoiseshell | P |
| The wave that bathes you mirrors well | P |
| - | |
| - | |
| O my abandoned youth is dead | G |
| Like a garland faded | G |
| Here the season comes again | B2 |
| Of suspicion and disdain | S |
| - | |
| The landscape s formed of canvasses | V |
| A false stream of blood flows down | Y |
| And under the tree the stars glow fresh | C2 |
| The only passer by s a clown | Y |
| - | |
| The glass in the frame has cracked | G |
| An air defined uncertainly | P |
| Hovers between sound and thought | G |
| Between to be and memory | P |
| - | |
| O my abandoned youth is dead | G |
| Like a garland faded | G |
| Here the season comes again | B2 |
| Of suspicion and disdain | S |
