Et le Poète dit qu'aux rayons des étoiles
Tu viens chercher, la nuit, les fleurs que tu cueillis;
Et qu'il a vu sur l'eau, couchée en ses longs voiles,
La blanche Ophélia flotter, comme un grand lys.
And the poet says that by starlight
You come seeking, in the night, the flowers that you picked;
And that he has seen on the water, lying in her long veils,
White Ophelia floating, like a great lily.
