Le sonnet d'Anvers(original) |
Ma vie a son secret, mon ame a son mystere, |
Un amour eternel en un moment conu, |
Le mal est sans espoir aussi j’ai du me taire, |
Et celle qui l’a fait n’en a jamais rien su, |
Helas j’aurais pass prs d’elle inapercu |
Toujours ses cots pourtant solitaire, |
Et j’aurais jusqu’au bout fait mon temps sur la terre, |
N’osant rien demander et n’ayant rien reu. |
Pour elle quoi que Dieu l’est faite douce et tendre, |
Elle ira son chemin distraite et sans entendre, |
Ce murmure d’amour elev sur ses pas. |
A l’ostere de voir pieusement fidle, |
Elle dira lisant ces vers tout rempli d’ailes |
Quelle est donc cette femme et ne comprendra pas. |
(translation) |
My life has its secret, my soul has its mystery, |
Eternal love in a moment designed, |
Evil is hopeless so I had to shut up, |
And she who made it never knew, |
Alas, I would have passed near her unnoticed |
Still her cots, however lonely, |
And I would have served my time on earth until the end, |
Not daring to ask for anything and having received nothing. |
For her though God made her sweet and tender, |
She'll go her way distracted and unheard, |
That murmur of love raised in her footsteps. |
At the expense of seeing piously faithful, |
She will say reading these verses all filled with wings |
Who is this woman and will not understand. |
