Her eyes

Her eyes, where nestles like a chilly dreamHer large eyes have seduced my soul amazed,On the old pastel blue, a blue wet flowerThey seem to look away, her big blue eyes.

They are great as a stormy sky that sprinkles- By the autumn sunsets and the tragic night -Any painful flight long black cloudsGreat as a sky, always moving, always the same!

Yet the eyes, I know more beautifulWishing my steps walk their torchesBut their brilliance repugnant to my melancholy.

Some have the warmth of eastern skyFurther the soft blue of distant ItalyBut his people dear to me and a native sky.

Ses yeux

Ses yeux où se blottit comme un rêve frileux,

Ses grands yeux ont séduit mon âme émerveillée,

D'un bleu d'ancien pastel, d'un bleu de fleur mouillée,

Ils semblent regarder de loin, ses grands yeux bleus.

Ils sont grands comme un ciel tourmenté que parsème

- Par les couchants d'automne et les tragiques soirs -

Tout un vol douloureux de longs nuages noirs ;

Grands comme un ciel, toujours mouvant, toujours le même !

Et cependant des yeux, j'en connais de plus beaux

Qui voudraient sur mes pas promener leurs flambeaux,

Mais leur éclat répugne à ma mélancolie.

Les uns ont la chaleur d'un ciel oriental

D'autres le mol azur des lointains d'Italie

Mais les siens me sont chers ainsi qu'un ciel natal.

Georges Rodenbach
