jeunesse
A tout asservie,
Par délicatesse
Jai perdu ma vie.
Ah que le temps vienne

Où les curs séprennent
Jai tant fait patience
Quà jamais joublie.
Craintes et souffrances
Aux cieux sont parties.

Et la soif malsaine
Obscurcit mes veines
Quil vienne, quil vienne,
Le temps dont on séprenne.
Note 1.
Arthur Rimbaud.
Chanson de la plus haute Tour.
From Les Illuminations, 18723. He gives a later version of this poem in Une Saison en Enfer, whence I take the form of the refrain at end of quotation. [
