XLVII.- Night of Harmony ( From The Crown of Pain - Les Fleurs Du Mal by Baudelaire )








XLVII. –  Night of Harmony


Here comes the night when the stems vibrate
And every flower burns like incense;
 Sounds and perfumes permeate the air,
A melancholy waltz plays languorously vertiginous!

Every flower burns like incense;
The violin trembles like an afflicted heart;
A melancholy waltz plays languorously vertiginous!
The sky is beautifully sad like a great repository.

The violin trembles like an afflicted heart;
A tender heart craves the great black abyss!
The sky is beautifully sad like a great repository.
The sun is drowning in its own blood which freezes.

A tender heart craves the great black abyss,
The vestiges of a once luminous past are shifting!
The sun is drowning in its own blood which freezes.
The memory of you in me still struggles like a monster.
