The blackened skies have reached the garden walk;
Yet my poor heart tonight cannot be not the restlessâ?¦
The lights that have been failed, the lost of sounds talk,
Are they the remnants of the dream in sadness?
...
We almost lost our minds through that mad sky:
It blinds us with its fire or its snow,
And, baring teeth, like any beast of wild,
Old winter hides in April very slow.
...
The gay day is ablazeâ?¦ And in the languid grass
The poppiesâ?? patches burn like impotent desireâ?¦
Like lips that can allure or deathly poison us,
Or wings of butterfly, wide spread and red like fire.
...
Donâ??t you have the strange vision sometimes
(When a dark penetrates in a house)
Of another existence for us,
Where we live in the other lifeâ??s phases?
...
In midst of waves, there are the silver beads
And scraped by time paints of the white enamel â?¦
I so like the morns which autumn breeds,
For their caress, so short and so gentle. ...

Good Kosciusko, thy great name alone
Is a full harvest whence to reap high feeling;
It comes upon us like the glorious pealing
Of the wide spheres -- an everlasting tone.
And now it tells me, that in worlds unknown,
The names of heroes, burst from clouds concealing,
And changed to harmonies, for ever stealing
Through cloudless blue, and round each silver throne.
