Recueillement (original)Recueillement (translation)
Sois sage, ô ma Douleur, et tiens-toi plus tranquille; Be wise, O my Sorrow, and be more still;
Tu réclamais le Soir: il descend, le voici: You claimed the Evening: it descends, here it is:
Une atmosphère obscure enveloppe la ville A dark atmosphere envelops the city
Aux uns portant la paix, aux autres le souci To some bringing peace, to others concern
Tandis que des mortels la multitude vile While of mortals the vile multitude
Sous le fouet du Plaisir, ce bourreau sans merci Under the whip of Pleasure, this merciless executioner
Va cueillir des remords dans la fête servile Will pluck remorse from the menial party
Ma Douleur, donne-moi la main;My Sorrow, give me your hand;
viens par ici come here
Loin d’eux.Far from them.
Vois se pencher les défuntes Années See the Defunct Years lean
Sur les balcons du ciel, en robes surannées On the balconies of heaven, in old-fashioned robes
Surgir des fonds de l’eau le Regret souriant Rising from the depths of the water the smiling Regret
Le Soleil moribond s’endormir sous une arche; The dying Sun falling asleep under an arch;
Et, comme un long linceul traînant à l’Orient And, like a long shroud trailing to the East
Entends, ma chère, entends la douce Nuit qui marcheHear, my dear, hear the gentle Night that walks
