Le long des blés que la brise
Fait onduler puis défrise
En un désordre coquet,
J'ai trouvé de bonne prise
De t'y cueillir un bouquet.
Mets-le vite à ton corsage, -
Il est fait à ton image
En même temps que pour toi...
Ton petit doigt, je le gage,
T'a déjà soufflé pourquoi:
Ces épis dorés, c'est l'onde
De ta chevelure blonde
Toute d'or et de soleil;
Ce coquelicot qui fronde,
C'est ta bouche au sang vermeil.
Et ces bluets, beau mystère!
Points d'azur que rien n'altère,
Ces bluets ce sont tes yeux,
Si bleus qu'on dirait, sur terre,
Deux éclats tombés des cieux.

Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass, -
The finger-points look through like rosy blooms:
Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms
'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.
All-round our nest, far as the eye can pass,
Are golden kingcup fields with silver edge
Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn hedge.
'Tis visible silence, still as the hourglass.
Deep in the sun searched growths the dragon-fly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky: -
So this winged hour is dropt to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.

L'alba sepàra dalla luce l'ombra,
E la mia voluttà dal mio desire.
O dolce stelle, è l'ora di morire.
Un più divino amor dal ciel vi sgombra.
Pupille ardenti, O voi senza ritorno
Stelle tristi, spegnetevi incorrotte!
Morir debbo. Veder non voglio il giorno,
Per amor del mio sogno e della notte.
Chiudimi, O Notte, nel tuo sen materno,
Mentre la terra pallida s'irrora.
Ma che dal sangue mio nasca l'aurora
E dal sogno mio breve il sole eterno!

These days, the sky looks different
It ponders its purpose
Wonders at its blueness
As if seeing for the first time
In a new, earthly light
Touched from a distance
By what might have been a dying star
It asks the difficult questions
Am I the dreamer or the dream?
Where would I be if dreams die?
But who will answer?
I am but an endless, empty blue.

There was a time,
when the sky was just sky,
and blue was just blue.
There was a time,
my heart didn’t sink,
at the sight of grey.
There was a time,
when clouds were unknown,
and the cold unexpected.
There was a time,
where the world I could see,
was the only world existing,
unexpectedly free.
There was a time,
I was unaware of people,
of what others wanted,
or what they had,
or what they hated.
Were they aware of me?
Are they now?
Was I aware of them?
Were they even aware of me?
Do I even know them now?
Do they even know themselves?
Do I know myself?
There was a time,
I was safe and content
in the voids of my landscape.
There was a time,
I only compared this moment,
with the next.
There was a time,
when the sky was simply blue,
and time was a question for tomorrow.
There was a time I just was...
