Le Tombeau Des Naïades

(original)
Le long du bois couvert de givre, je marchais;
Mes cheveux devant ma bouche
Se fleurissaient de petits glaçons
Et mes sandales étaient lourdes
De neige fangeuse et tassée
Il me dit: «Que cherches-tu?»
Je suis la trace du satyre
Ses petits pas fourchus alternent
Comme des trous dans un manteau blanc
Il me dit: «Les satyres sont morts
«Les satyres et les nymphes aussi
Depuis trente ans, il n’a pas fait un hiver aussi terrible
La trace que tu vois est celle d’un bouc
Mais restons ici, où est leur tombeau.»
Et avec le fer de sa houe il cassa la glace
De la source ou jadis riaient les naïades
Il prenait de grands morceaux froids
Et les soulevant vers le ciel pâle
Il regardait au travers
(translation)
Along the frost-covered wood I walked;
My hair in front of my mouth
Bloomed with little icicles
And my sandals were heavy
Muddy, packed snow
He said to me, "What are you looking for?"
I am the trace of the satyr
His little forked steps alternate
Like holes in a white coat
He said to me, "The satyrs are dead
"Satyrs and nymphs too
For thirty years there has not been such a terrible winter
The track you see is that of a goat
But let's stay here, where their tomb is."
And with the iron of his hoe he broke the ice
From the spring where the naiads once laughed
He was taking big cold chunks
And lifting them up to the pale sky
He was looking through
