Page 331 - C'est l'adieu d'un ami, c'est le dernier sourire Des lèvres que la mort va fermer pour jamais. Ainsi, prêt à quitter l'horizon de la vie, Pleurant de mes longs jours l'espoir évanoui, Je me retourne encore, et d'un regard d'envie Je contemple ses biens dont je n'ai pas joui.
Page 323 - Scarce seen, but with fresh bitterness imbued; And slight withal may be the things which bring Back on the heart the weight which it would fling Aside for ever: it may be a sound — A tone of music — summer's eve — or spring — 205 A flower — the wind — the ocean — which shall wound, Striking the electric chain wherewith we are darkly bound...
