L’invitation au voyage

Mon enfant, ma soeur, Songe à la douceurD’aller là-bas vivre ensemble! Aimer à loisir, Aimer et mourir Au pays qui te ressemble! Les soleils mouillés De ces ciels brouillés Pour mon esprit ont les charmes Si mystérieux De tes traîtres yeux, Brillant à travers leurs larmes.
Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,Luxe, calme et volupté.
Des meubles luisants,Polis par les ans,Décoreraient notre chambre;Les plus rares fleursMêlant leurs odeursAux vagues senteurs de l’ambre,Les riches plafonds,Les miroirs profonds,La splendeur orientale,Tout y parleraitÀ l’âme en secretSa douce langue natale.


Invitation to the Voyage 


My child, my sister, Think of the rapture Of living together there! Of loving at will, Of loving till death, In the land that is like you! The misty sunlight Of those cloudy skies Has for my spirit the charms, So mysterious, Of your treacherous eyes, Shining brightly through their tears. 
There all is order and beauty, Luxury, peace, and pleasure. 
Gleaming furniture, Polished by the years, Will ornament our bedroom; The rarest flowers Mingling their fragrance With the faint scent of amber, The ornate ceilings, The limpid mirrors, The oriental splendor, All would whisper there Secretly to the soul In its soft, native language. 
There all is order and beauty, Luxury, peace, and pleasure.
