WHAT DO I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP?

“I used to wander aimlessly . . . “ by Paul Verlaine

I used to wander aimlessly, Wanton my goal, grievous my plight.

Your dear hands led me, guided me.

Over the far horizon, nightGlowed with the pallid hope of dawn. Your eyes’ glance was my morning light.

No sound – save his own tread uponThe ground – to ease the wanderer’s heart. Your voice encouraged me: “Go on!”

Yes, my heart – dark, cowed, set apart, Alone – bewailed its dire distress.Sweet love, with all its conquering art,

Joined us as one in joyousness.

“J'allais par des chemins perfides . . . “ de Paul Verlaine

J'allais par des chemins perfides,Douloureusement incertain.Vos chères mains furent mes guides.

Si pâle à l'horizon lointainLuisait un faible espoir d'aurore;Votre regard fut le matin.

Nul bruit, sinon son pas sonore,N'encourageait le voyageur.Votre voix me dit: "Marche encore!"

Mon coeur craintif, mon sombre cœurPleurait, seul, sur la triste voie;L'amour, délicieux vainqueur,

Nous a réunis dans la joie.
