| 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 |

| 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 |
