Vitam Impendere Amori To Threaten Life for LoveA
-
Love is dead within your armsB
Do you remember his encounterC
He s dead you restore the charmsB
He returns at your encounterC
-
Another spring of springs gone pastD
I think of all its tendernessE
Farewell season done at lastD
You ll return as tenderlyF
-
-
-
In the evening light that s fadedG
Where our several loves brush byH
Your memory lies enchainedG
Far from our shades that dieG
-
O hands bound by memoryF
Burning like a funeral pyreC
Where the last black PhoenixI
Perfection comes to respireC
-
Link by link the chain wears thinJ
Deriding us your memoryC
Flies ah hear it you who railK
I kneel again at your feetG
-
-
-
You ve not surprised my secret yetG
Already the cort ge moves onL
But left to us is the regretG
of there being no connivance noneM
-
The rose floats at the water s edgeN
The maskers have passed by in crowdsO
It trembles in me like a bellP
This heavy secret you ask nowQ
-
-
-
Evening falls and in the gardenM
Women tell their historiesR
to Night that not without disdainS
spills their dark hair s mysteriesR
-
Little children little childrenM
Your wings have flown awayT
But you rose that defend yourselfU
Throw your unrivalled scents awayT
-
For now s the hour of petty theftG
Of plumes of flowers and of tressesV
Gather the fountain jets so freeC
Of whom the roses are mistressesW
-
-
-
You descended through the water clearC
I drowned my self so in your glanceX
The soldier passes she leans downY
Turns and breaks away a branchZ
-
You float on nocturnal wavesA2
The flame is my own heart reversedG
Coloured as that comb s tortoiseshellP
The wave that bathes you mirrors wellP
-
-
O my abandoned youth is deadG
Like a garland fadedG
Here the season comes againB2
Of suspicion and disdainS
-
The landscape s formed of canvassesV
A false stream of blood flows downY
And under the tree the stars glow freshC2
The only passer by s a clownY
-
The glass in the frame has crackedG
An air defined uncertainlyP
Hovers between sound and thoughtG
Between to be and memoryP
-
O my abandoned youth is deadG
Like a garland fadedG
Here the season comes againB2
Of suspicion and disdainS
