| Elle me dit: «Quelque chose |
| «Me tourmente.» |
| Et j’aperçus |
| Son cou de neige, et, dessus |
| Un petit insecte rose |
| J’aurais dû, — mais, sage ou fou |
| A seize ans, on est farouche, — |
| Voir le baiser sur sa bouche |
| Plus que l’insecte à son cou |
| On eût dit un coquillage; |
| Dos rose et taché de noir |
| Les fauvettes pour nous voir |
| Se penchaient dans le feuillage |
| Sa bouche fraîche était là; |
| Hélas! |
| Je me penchai sur la belle |
| Et je pris la coccinelle; |
| Mais le baiser s’envola |
| «Fils, apprends comme on me nomme,» |
| Dit l’insecte du ciel bleu |
| «Les bêtes sont au bon Dieu; |
| «Mais la bêtise est à l’homme.» |
| (translation) |
| She said to me, "Something |
| "Torments me." |
| And I saw |
| Her neck of snow, and on it |
| A little pink bug |
| I should have, — but, wise or fool |
| At sixteen, one is fierce,— |
| See the kiss on her mouth |
| More than the insect around his neck |
| It looked like a seashell; |
| Pink and black spotted back |
| The warblers to see us |
| Leaned into the foliage |
| Her cool mouth was there; |
| Alas! |
| I bent over the beautiful |
| And I took the ladybug; |
| But the kiss flew away |
| "Son, learn as I am called," |
| Said the blue sky insect |
| “The beasts belong to God; |
| "But stupidity belongs to the man." |
