Tes pas erreront faiblement sur la rive<br />
Des femmes sans fards et <strong>de</strong>s passants obscurs,<br />
LaMaison <strong>de</strong>s Morts sur ta forme plaintive<br />
Fermera ses murs.<br />
Sous l'azur et sous la pourpre <strong>de</strong> ses voiles,<br />
LaNuit cachera ton rire d'autrefois.<br />
Demain tu mourras d'une mort sans étoiles<br />
-~C&~<br />
Sous les linceuls froids.<br />
Thectoo the years shall cover; thou shalt bc<br />
Asthe rose born of one same blood with thee,<br />
Asa song sung, as a word sa!d, ~nd fa!t<br />
Ftower-wise, and not be any more at aiï,<br />
Nor any memory of thee anywhere;<br />
For never Muse has bound above thine hair<br />
The high Pierian flower who~e graft outgrows<br />
At)summer kinship of the mortat rose<br />
Andcolour of <strong>de</strong>ciJuous days, nor shed<br />
~eftex and flush of heaven about thine head,<br />
