From dewy dreams, my soul, arise
Language:
English
From dewy dreams, my soul, arise,
From love's deep slumber and from death,
For lo! the treees are full of sighs
Whose leaves the morn admonisheth.
Eastward the gradual dawn prevails
Where softly-burning fires appear,
Making to tremble all those veils
Of grey and golden gossamer.
While sweetly, gently, secretly,
The flowery bells of morn are stirred
And the wise choirs of faery
Begin (innumerous!) to be heard.

Des rêves de rosée, mon âme,...
Language:
French
Des rêves de rosée, mon âme, arrache-toi
Du profond sommeil de l'amour et de la mort,
Car regardez ! les arbres sont remplis de soupirs,
Eux dont le matin admoneste les feuilles.
Vers l'est progressivement l'aube l'emporte
Où apparaissent des feux qui brûlent doucement,
Faisant trembler toutes ces gazes
De fils gris et dorés.
Tandis que doucement, tendrement, secrètement,
Les cloches fleuries du matin sont agitées
Et que les chœurs savants de la féerie,
Commencent (innombrables !) à se faire entendre.
