Sujet naïf et fade qui m’attristes,

Dis, quel poète entre tous les artistes,

Quel ouvrier morose t’opéra,

Tapisserie usée et surannée,

Banale comme un décor d’opéra,

Factice, hélas! comme ma destinée?

Allegory

A mountain summit—yellow, faint: and there,

An ancient temple-ruin through the haze,

Reflected in a stream’s pale, torpid glaze,

Like king dethroned, weeping his lone despair.

Creature of languorous grace and slumberous air,

An aging naiad, by an alder, plays

The tease, twitting, tickling with willow sprays

A smiling satyr—rustic, debonair.
