one night all full of murmurings of perfumes and music of wings | B |
one night | A |
in which fantastic fireflies burnt in the humid nuptial shadows | C |
slowly by my side pressed altogether close silent and pale | D |
as if a presentiment of infinite bitternesses | C |
agitated you unto the most hidden fibers of your being | E |
along the flowering path which crosses the plain | F |
you walked | G |
and the full moon | H |
in the infinite and profound blue heavens scattered its white light | A |
and your shadow | I |
fine and languid | J |
and my shadow | I |
projected by the rays of the moon | H |
upon the sorrowful sands | C |
of the path joined together | K |
and they became one | L |
and they became one | L |
and they became only one long shadow | I |
and they became only one long shadow | I |
and they became only one long shadow | I |

Tonight | A |
alone my soul | M |
full of the infinite bitternesses and agonies of your death | N |
separated from you by time by the tomb and by distance | C |
by the infinite blackness | C |
where our voice cannot reach | O |
silent and alone | P |
along the path I walked | G |
And the barking of dogs at the moon could be heard | Q |
at the pale moon | H |
and the chirping | E |
of the frogs | C |
I felt cold It was the coldness that in your alcove | R |
your cheeks and your temples and your ador d hands possessed | S |
within the snowy whiteness | C |
of the mortuary sheets | C |
It was the coldness of the sepulcher it was the ice of death | N |
it was the coldness of oblivion | L |
And my shadow | I |
projected by the rays of the moon | H |
walked alone | P |
walked alone | P |
walked alone along the solitary plain | F |
and your shadow svelte and agile | T |
fine and languid | J |
as in that warm night of springtime death | N |
as in that night full of murmurings of perfumes and music of wings | C |
approached and walked with mine | U |
approached and walked with mine | U |
approached and walked with mine Oh the shadows intertwined | V |
Oh the corporeal shadows united with the shadows of the souls | C |
Oh the seeking shadows in those nights of sorrows and of tears | C |
